How it works

Its dispel type is client id 3.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 7 times over the full 21 sec (35 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 80. Its base value is -10. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Wither is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 21 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 10) in a 100 yard radius, applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 3 sec and applies an aura in a 100 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.
