PhysicalTooltip
Maims the enemy, causing 5 damage and slowing the enemy's movement by 40% for 15 sec.
How it works
Each cast of Hamstring costs 10 Rage. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Hamstring is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -40. It applies the ensnared mechanic.
What it does
Hamstring is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 5) and applies an aura with the ensnared 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.
