Overloads all enemies nearby, dealing 1000 Arcane damage and increasing all damage taken for 10 sec.

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 School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1000. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Overload is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 1000) in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
