How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Shadow Storm.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Shadow Storm.

What it does

Shadow Storm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Shadow Storm (record #119973) and Shadow Storm (record #119984).

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.
