How it works

Undertow 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 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Undertow.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Undertow.

What it does

Undertow is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Undertow (record #195396) and Undertow (record #195288).

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.
