The caster exhales a cone of foul breath, inflicting Nature damage to all enemies in a 20 yard cone in front of them. Victims take additional Nature damage over 9 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 4.

Noxious Breath is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (15 base in total).

What it does

Noxious Breath is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 3 sec.

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.
