Increases your critical strike chance with spells by an additional 1% and gives you a chance when hit by a physical attack to reduce the cast time of your next Shadow Bolt or Incinerate spell by 100%. This effect lasts 8 sec and will not occur more than once every 8 seconds.
How it works
Its aura has a 8% chance to proc when its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 8 sec.
Backlash is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Backlash.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 57. Its base value is 1.
What it does
Backlash is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Backlash (record #34936).
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
