How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Frightening Shout is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It applies the fleeing mechanic. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -45. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Frightening Shout is a spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the fleeing mechanic in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura in a 100 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.
