Petrification

Tooltip

Petrifies an enemy for 12 sec. While petrified the target cannot move or attack, and takes 100% more damage from all sources.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Petrification is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
