How it works

Its dispel type is client id 4.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 150.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 15 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (45 base in total).

What it does

Poison Bolt is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150) and applies an aura every 1 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.
