Darkness

Tooltip

Inflicts 32375 to 37625 Nature damage to nearby enemies every 1 sec. for 30 sec.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 32375 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (971250 base in total).

What it does

Darkness is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) 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.

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.
