How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Cripple 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 -24.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 124. Its base value is -24.

What it does

Cripple is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
