How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 200 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 30 times over the full 90 sec. It triggers Volatile Infection.
  2. Effect 2 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Volatile Infection is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 90 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 200 yard radius every 3 sec and burns a resource on the target (base value 100). It also casts Volatile Infection (record #203788).

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.
