Intimidating Roar

Tooltip

Roars at an enemy, paralyzing it with terror for 8 sec. and causing all other nearby enemies to flee in fear.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Intimidating Roar 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 7. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Intimidating Roar is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing 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.
