Wither

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 3. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 800. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 150 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 7 times over the full 21 sec (1050 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 29. Its base value is -100. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Wither is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 21 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 800), applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura.

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.
