  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Binding Shot is a Nature spell with a 0.8 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.
