Tooltip

Inflicts Holy damage to an enemy every 1 sec. for 2 sec. This damage also heals the caster each time it strikes.

How it works

Penance 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 75 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (150 base in total). It triggers Penance.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 25 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (50 base in total).

What it does

Penance is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Penance (record #163291).

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.
