How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (20 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Entangling Roots is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura. 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.
