How it works

Chaos Bolt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 300.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (250 base in total).

What it does

Chaos Bolt is a Shadow spell with a 5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 300) and applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
