Inflicts 7.77297 Nature damage in a cone in front of the caster.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7.773. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 7.773. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Vile Breath is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an 8 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 7.773) in a 15 yard radius and drains health from the target (base value 7.773) in a 15 yard radius.

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.
