Tooltip

The caster stings its current target inflicting Nature damage and poisoning the target inflicting Nature damage every 3 sec. for 9 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 150 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec (450 base in total).

What it does

Sting is a Nature spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 6 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 200) and applies an aura every 3 sec. It stacks up to 3 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.
