Sand Trap

How it works

Sand Trap is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2000. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 54. Its base value is -75. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Sand Trap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 2000) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius.

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.
