The caster spits a bolt of poison at their current target inflicting 10 Nature damage and 4 damage every 2 sec for 8 sec. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 4. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (16 base in total).

What it does

Poison Bolt is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 10) and applies an aura every 2 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.
