How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 99. Its base value is -15. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 124. Its base value is -15. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Screech is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
