The target becomes overwhelmed with power increasing damage done by 200% and causes a meltdown after 1 min.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 min. It triggers Meltdown.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 150.

What it does

Overwhelming Power is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 min. It also casts Meltdown.

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.
