Inflicts 20% weapon damage to an enemy, reducing its movement speed by 70% for 10 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -70.

What it does

Hamstring is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 20) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the ensnared mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
