How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 16.769 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (83.84 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22. Its base value is -527.309. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Corrosive Acid is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 3 sec and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius.

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.
