How it works

Thousand Blades 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 1 sec. It triggers Thousand Blades.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -9900. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Thousand Blades is a spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Thousand Blades (record #96644).

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.
