Penance

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Penance is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec. It triggers Penance.

What it does

Penance is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Penance (record #47750).

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.
