Arcane Overload

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Arcane Overload is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Arcane Overload.

What it does

Arcane Overload is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it summons a creature in a 15 yard radius. It also casts Arcane Overload (record #404636).

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.
