Net-o-Matic

Tooltip

Captures the target in a net for 10 sec. The net has a lot of hooks however and sometimes gets caught in the user's clothing when fired......

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Net-o-Matic is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Net-o-Matic.

What it does

Net-o-Matic is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Net-o-Matic (record #13139).

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.
