Catastrophe

How it works

Catastrophe is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 400.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Catastrophe.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Demonic Circle.

What it does

Catastrophe is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Catastrophe (record #1258021) and Demonic Circle.

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.
