Gutshot launches a trap towards random players. When triggered, the trap entangles all creatures and players and inflicts 6 Physical damage every 2 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 455. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 6 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (18 base in total).

What it does

Ensnaring Trap is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius, deals Physical damage (base value 15) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic in a 5 yard radius every 2 sec. 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.
