How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Undertow.

What it does

Undertow is a spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect. It also casts Undertow (record #289490).

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.
