Tooltip

Looking into the maw of madness unhinges your mind, inflicting 28.5486 Shadow damage and reducing Sanity by 4% every 1 sec. for as long as you are facing the caster.

How it works

Lunatic Gaze is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 4 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Lunatic Gaze.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Lunatic Gaze.

What it does

Lunatic Gaze is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Lunatic Gaze (record #64164).

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.
