Deals 6598 to 7402 Shadow damage to all enemy players within 50000 yards. In addition, the targets will take increasing Shadow damage per second. This effect is removed when the target has more than 90% health.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1000 per tick. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6598. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Infest is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 60 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius every 1 sec and deals Shadow damage (base value 6598) in a 50000 yard radius.

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.
