Grants your attacks an additional 100% chance to critically strike, and increases damage by 50%. Lasts 10 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 290. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Recklessness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 10 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.
