Tooltip

Leap into the air and land with explosive force, dealing (44% of Attack Power) Chaos damage to enemies within 8 yds, and stunning them for 3 sec. Players are Dazed for 3 sec instead.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.44 times attack power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Metamorphosis is a Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in an 8 yard radius, deals Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane damage in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared 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.
