Every 3 sec. the Vigilant Guardian inflicts 10 Cosmic damage to all players. This damage increases by 25% every 3 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 201600 times over the full 168 hr. It triggers Core Overload.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Core Overload is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 168 hr. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Core Overload (record #364963).

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.
