How it works

Its dispel type is client id 3.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10 per tick. Its area radius is 60 yards. It ticks every 5 sec, 3 times over the full 15 sec (30 base in total).

What it does

Plague Breath is a Nature and Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Nature and Shadow damage (base value 20) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius every 5 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.
