Tooltip

Entangles an enemy in roots, inflicting Nature damage every 3 sec. and immobilizing it for up to 6 sec.

How it works

Entangling Roots is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It applies the rooted mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 300000 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (600000 base in total).

What it does

Entangling Roots is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the rooted mechanic and applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

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.
