Garrote

Tooltip

Inflicts 36 damage to an enemy every 3 sec. for 18 sec. when attacking from stealth.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 36 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec (216 base in total).

What it does

Garrote is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70374. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
