How it works

Berserk is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 500.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec, 150 times over the full 5 min. It triggers Frostbolt.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Berserk is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Frostbolt.

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.
