Instability

How it works

Instability is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 236.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.7 sec. It triggers Instability.

What it does

Instability is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.7 sec. It also casts Instability (record #122930).

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.
