How it works

Volatile Rot is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 8 sec. It triggers Volatile Rot.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 8 sec. It triggers Volatile Rot.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 95.

What it does

Volatile Rot is a Nature and Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 8 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Volatile Rot (record #204470) and Volatile Rot (record #204777).

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.
