Hurls a bolt of void energy at an enemy, inflicting 15 Shadow damage.

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 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (12 base in total).

What it does

Poison Bolt is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 15) and applies an aura every 1 sec. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
