How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Gathering Nightmare is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is -2.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec.

What it does

Gathering Nightmare 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 and applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 30 times.

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.
