Passive

Enemies
The Sand King constantly kicks up dust behind him, slowing and confusing his enemies while inside the cloud. Do not, under any circumstances, learn this skill if you are Sentinel.
Radius: 150 (?)
Move Speed Slow: 5%/10%/15%/20%
Miss Chance: 7%/14%/21%/28%
Trail Duration: 2 (?)
Modifiers
Debuff Dust Trail Slow: Undispellable.

Notes:

  • This ability was replaced in the gameplay patch 6.00 by Sand Storm.
  • Creates a dust effect on Sand King`s position in 0.25 second (?) intervals. Any enemy unit which gets within an 150 (?) range of the dust gets the debuff.
  • The dust effects do no follow Sand King, but stay at the position they spawned at. They last for an estimated 2 seconds.
  • The dust effects are still created even when Sand King dies.
  • The reason for why this ability shouldn`t be leveled if Sand King is on Sentinel (Radiant) side is, the ability only affects units on that team, never units on the Scourge (Dire) side.
