How it works

Power Overload is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers spell id 278007.

What it does

Power Overload is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.5 sec.

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.
