How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 129, which the datamine does not name. It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 10 per tick. Its area radius is 18 yards. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 129, which the datamine does not name. It applies aura type 260. Its area radius is 18 yards.

What it does

Aura of Dread is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled.

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.
