How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Crescendo is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
