Awaken memories of past conflicts, causing a Dread Shade to take form nearby.

While active, shades slowly travel toward your target, dealing (70% of Attack Power) Nature damage to nearby enemies and mirroring your Thrash casts.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Waking Nightmare 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 100. It triggers Waking Nightmare.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Waking Nightmare is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Waking Nightmare (record #1254168).

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.
