How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Torment.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Torment.

What it does

Torment is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Torment (record #267430) and Torment (record #280943).

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.
