Tooltip

A thundering cloud of dust flies into the face of nearby enemies, reducing their chance to hit by 20% for 5 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 54. Its base value is -20. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Dust Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

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.
