Descend

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec. It triggers Descend - Beam.

What it does

Descend is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Descend - Beam.

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.
