How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 5. It triggers Superstrain.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 75.

What it does

Superstrain is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Superstrain (record #1242078).

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.
