How it works

Its dispel type is client id 3.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It applies the infected mechanic. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Blood Plague is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the infected mechanic every 3 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the infected mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
