How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4.8581. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 10 times over the full 5 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -15. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Petrifying Breath is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 4.8581) in a 20 yard radius, applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 0.5 sec and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
