Mad Scientist

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 361. It triggers Genetic Alteration.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Mad Scientist is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect. It also casts Genetic Alteration.

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.
