Paralyze

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Paralyze is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect and applies an aura.

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.
