Movement speed of enemies damaged by your Thorns is reduced by 50%.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Thorns is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 1 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the snared mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
