How it works

Dual Wield is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  2. Effect 2 is Dual Wield (effect type 40).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Dual Wield is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it has a Spawn effect, has a Dual Wield effect and 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.
