How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 750000. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 41000. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 41000. Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers Stealth.

What it does

Arcane Overload is an Arcane spell with a 5 sec cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 750000) in a 15 yard radius and deals Arcane damage (base value 41000) in a 10 yard radius. It also casts Stealth.

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.
