Slams into the ground, kicking up an asphyxiating cloud of debris, inflicting 2000 Nature damage per second to all enemies caught within and reducing their chance to hit by 50%.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Choking Cloud is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2000 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (60000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 54. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Crushing Leap.

What it does

Choking Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 10-80 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius. It also casts Crushing Leap.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
