How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Aura of Dread is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Aura of Dread is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1000) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius. It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
