Tooltip

Roots the target in place and causes 20 Nature damage over 12 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Only useable outdoors.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Entangling Roots is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It scales with 0.06 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (20 base in total).

What it does

Entangling Roots is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
