How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Petrifying Gaze is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 10 times.
