How it works

Acid Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. Its area radius is 50 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 9 times over the full 18 sec (18 base in total).

What it does

Acid Breath is a Nature spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 5) in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
