I've been beating my head on a problem. It's WoW related and you're listed as an expert on spells and abilities there.

I need to find a source, in detail form, of the effects of harmful auras.

I know, for instance, that Crowd Control is broken down into categories like "disorient, stun, root, etc."

A few sites list "examples of Crowd Control spells/abilities" but that's not particularly useful as 1) I don't know how current those lists are and 2) they're not complete lists.

I know I can go search "Prot Warrior Intercept" and get a few reference sites that will tell me that Intercept Roots a hostile target for 1 second and Slows a hostile target by 50% for 8 seconds. What I can't do is search out "what roots hostile targets" and get back a list of spells and abilities that do that, or at least not one more current that two or three xpacs ago.

I need to find a way to discover what spells/abilities cause what debuffs short of wading through the site, spell by spell, ability by ability, and hoping the information I find is both current and correct.

Frankly, I doubt I'd live long enough to finish the task. Somewhere around day 35 of that, I'm pretty sure I'd open a vein.
