Immobilizes an enemy for 5 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 1. It triggers Net Guard.

What it does

Net is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Net Guard.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
