Create a cloud of terrible smelling gas, inflicting Nature damage to nearby enemies.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Choking Cloud is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60.

What it does

Choking Cloud is a spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
