Entangling Roots

Tooltip

Entangles an enemy in roots, inflicting Nature damage every 3 sec. and immobilizing it for up to 15 sec.

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. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 116.939 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (584.7 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 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius 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.
