Corrupts the target, causing 90 Shadow damage over 15 sec.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.
Corruption is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 18 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (90 base in total).
- Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
What it does
Corruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec.
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.
