Poison

Tooltip

Coats your weapons with a Lethal Poison that lasts for 60 min. Each strike has a chance of poisoning the enemy which instantly inflicts (7.4% of Attack Power) Nature damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Instant Poison.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Poison is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it teaches a spell. It also casts Instant Poison.

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.
