The caster exhales a shockwave of petrifying earth that inflicts Nature damage and slows the movement speed of any enemies caught in the blast.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.

What it does

Petrifying Breath is a spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 10 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 1.8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
