Insanity

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 285. It triggers Insanity.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 243.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.5 sec.

What it does

Insanity 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 0.5 sec. It also casts Insanity (record #472320).

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.
