Sand Trap

Tooltip

Calls forth sand traps beneath all players for 4 sec. Coming into contact with a sand trap inflicts 24.7701 Nature damage, knocking the target into the air and stunning them for 4 sec.

How it works

Sand Trap is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 24.7701.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 75.

What it does

Sand Trap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 24.7701), applies an aura with the stunned mechanic and has a Knock Back effect. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
