Tooltip

A thundering cloud of dust flies into the face of nearby enemies, reducing their chance to hit by 30% for 12 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 54. Its base value is -30. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Dust Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
