Tentacle Slam

How it works

Tentacle Slam is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Tentacle Slam is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 25 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it summons a creature in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
