Insanity increases the victim's health by 100%, their damage dealt by 100%, and their healing dealt by 100%.

How it works

Insanity is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 177. Its base value is 99999. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 133. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 136. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 50 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min.

What it does

Insanity is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50 yard radius 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.
