How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Overload is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 200.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Overload is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
