Dread Bolt

Tooltip

Fires a heavy blight bolt at a location, inflicting 10 Nature damage to enemies. Burns enemies with Nature's Protection for an additional 5 Nature damage.

How it works

Dread Bolt is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (40 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Dread Bolt is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 10) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
