Increases Speed by 10, and regenerates (100% of Spell Power) health every 5 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 5 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 189. Its base value is 10. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Unholy Aura is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it applies an aura every 5 sec and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
