Unstable Affliction

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5.6604.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. It applies the silenced mechanic.

What it does

Unstable Affliction is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 5.6604) and applies an aura with the silenced mechanic.

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.
