Tooltip

A spore cloud fills the area, dealing 1080 to 1320 Nature damage and additional nature damage every 3 sec for 20 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 3 sec. It triggers Spore Cloud.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1080. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Spore Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 3 sec and deals Nature damage (base value 1080) in an 8 yard radius. It also casts Spore Cloud (record #38653).

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.
