Hamstring

Tooltip

Maims the enemy, causing 45 damage and slowing the enemy's movement by 50% for 15 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 45. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. 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 45) 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.
