How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Dark Simulacrum is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura.
