How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -80.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 80.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 25.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 40.

What it does

Critical Mass is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
