How it works

Iron Roots is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 14.2743 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Strengthened Iron Roots Summon Trigger.

What it does

Iron Roots is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 sec. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Strengthened Iron Roots Summon Trigger.

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.
