Tooltip

You turn to stone, absorbing up to 6000 total damage, but you are unable to move, attack, or cast spells. Lasts 30 sec.

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 2 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 69. Its base value is 6000.

What it does

Petrification is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
