Root Self

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It applies the rooted mechanic.

What it does

Root Self is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the rooted mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

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.
