How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Grasping Vines is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20.7701. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers Knockdown.

What it does

Grasping Vines is a Physical spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 20.7701) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Knockdown.

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.
