How it works

Cutting Beam is built from 3 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 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -55.

What it does

Cutting Beam is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.
