How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 12 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301. Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Petrifying Sting is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
