Corrupted Fear

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 2. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -25. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Corrupted Fear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
