How it works

Petrifying 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.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 129. Its base value is -20.

What it does

Petrifying Breath is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 15 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150) and applies an aura.
