How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.4 sec. It triggers Strafe.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.4 sec. It triggers Strafe.

What it does

Strafe is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 0.4 sec. It also casts Strafe (record #423739) and Strafe (record #423741).

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.
