Wracks an enemy's mind, inflicting 0.904554 Shadow damage every 1 sec and stunning the target for 5 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.9046 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (4.52 base in total).

What it does

Torment is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
