The Haunting Essence unleashes a scream, inflicting 10 Nature damage every 1 sec to all players for 3 sec and causing them to flee in fear.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 300 yards.

What it does

Fearsome Cry is a Nature spell with a 4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 300 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing 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.
