Poison Cloud

Tooltip

Inflicts 350 Nature damage to nearby enemies every 1 sec. for 10 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 350 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (3500 base in total).

What it does

Poison Cloud is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
