When you cast Chain Heal or Riptide, you have a 60% chance to lower the cast time of your Healing Wave spell by 30% and increase the critical effect chance of your Lesser Healing Wave spell by 25%, until two such spells have been cast. In addition, your Healing Wave gains an additional 12% of your bonus healing effects and your Lesser Healing Wave gains an additional 6% of your bonus healing effects.

How it works

Its aura has a 60% chance to proc when its trigger condition is met.

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

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is 6.

What it does

Tidal Waves is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Tidal Waves (record #53390).
