The Big One

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

The Big One is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers The Big One.

What it does

The Big One is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts The Big One (record #407035).

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.
