How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Desperate Prayer is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 133. Its base value is 25.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 25.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 10000.

What it does

Desperate Prayer is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 90 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 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.
