How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Mad Scientist is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Recent Catastrophe.

What it does

Mad Scientist is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 min. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Recent Catastrophe.

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.
