Inflicts Nature damage to an enemy every 3 sec. for 30 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 4. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 36 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 10 times over the full 30 sec (360 base in total).

What it does

Poison is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
