Roots all enemies for 4 sec and deals 6 Nature damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Earthgrab is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura in an 8 yard radius and deals Nature damage (base value 6) in an 8 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

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.
