Oppressive Darkness

How it works

Oppressive Darkness is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Oppressive Darkness.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Oppressive Darkness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 0.5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Oppressive Darkness (record #447154).

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.
