How it works

Pain and Suffering is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Pain and Suffering.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Pain and Suffering.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Pain and Suffering.

What it does

Pain and Suffering is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec. It also casts Pain and Suffering (record #74116) and Pain and Suffering (record #74117).

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.
