Overload

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Overload 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 2 sec. It triggers Overload.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Overload is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Overload (record #44353).

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.
