How it works

Entangling Roots is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 455.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 1.5 times spell power. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec.

What it does

Entangling Roots is a Nature spell with a 1.7 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura 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.
