Dreadful Roar

Tooltip

Deals 5250 to 6750 Shadow damage to enemies within 60 yards, interrupting any spells being cast for 8 sec. In addition, targets will take 5% more shadow damage. This effect can stack up to 40 times.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Dreadful Roar is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5250. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Dreadful Roar.

What it does

Dreadful Roar is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 5250) in a 60 yard radius and interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic in a 60 yard radius. It also casts Dreadful Roar (record #61485). It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
