How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 52. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 101. Its base value is -35.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 38. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Recklessness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
