Tooltip

Inflicts 20.9356 Nature damage to nearby enemies every 1 sec. for 1 min.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min. It triggers Poison.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Poison is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Poison (record #54363).

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.
