Poison Cloud

Tooltip

Poisons all enemies in an radius around the caster. Victims of the poison suffer 50 Nature damage every 5 sec for 45 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 4.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50 per tick. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 5 sec, 9 times over the full 45 sec (450 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Poison Cloud is a Nature spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it applies an aura in an 8 yard radius every 5 sec and summons a creature.

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.
