How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 16.769. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1.3974 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 15 times over the full 45 sec (20.96 base in total).

What it does

Acid Breath is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 16.769) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 3 sec. It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
