How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 4.

Serpent Sting is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.3 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 0.206 times attack power. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec.

What it does

Serpent Sting is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage and applies an aura every 3 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.
