Petrification

Tooltip

You turn to stone, protecting you from all physical attacks and spells for 1 min, but during that time you cannot attack, move or cast spells. Counts as both a Battle and Guardian elixir.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 93.

What it does

Petrification is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
