How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Overload.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Charged Ground.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.5546.

What it does

Overload is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 45 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 1.5546). It also casts Overload (record #173326) and Charged Ground.

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.
