Cause a player's soul to wither, inflicting 38.2873 Shadow damage every 3 sec for 1 min. This effect increases damage taken from by 100%.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 20 times over the full 1 min (200 base in total). It triggers Wither.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Wither is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Wither (record #236135).

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.
