How it works

Unstable Storm 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 1.5 sec, 20 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers Storm Strike.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 495. It triggers Overloaded.

What it does

Unstable Storm is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Storm Strike and Overloaded.

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.
