How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Faulty Zap is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 6 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Faulty Zap.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 25.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 75.

What it does

Faulty Zap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Faulty Zap (record #467048).

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.
