Penance

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. 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, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Penance (record #66098).

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.
