Deals 750 Shadow damage every 2 sec. for 8 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Debilitate is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 750 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (3000 base in total).

What it does

Debilitate is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura, applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura every 2 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.
