Ruin

Tooltip

Creates an area of ruinous earth, inflicting 50000 Nature damage every 1 sec. to units caught within the area of effect and slowing their movement speed by 30%.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Ruin 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 50000 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 604800 times over the full 168 hr (3.024e+10 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Ruin is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 168 hr. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It stacks up to 3 times.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 19 separate Spell records named "Ruin". This page is record #142403. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
