Caustic Eruption is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 20 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (240 base in total).

What it does

Caustic Eruption is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec.
