Channels Alpha Beams at a random target, inflicting 9750 to 10250 damage to enemies of the target location every 0.5 sec for 3 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Alpha Beams.

What it does

Alpha Beams is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Alpha Beams (record #76904).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
