Tooltip

Increases the Physical damage taken by an enemy by 5 for 5 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 14. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Expose Weakness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 25 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 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.
