WarlockTooltip
Shadow energy slowly destroys the target, causing 550 damage over 15 sec. In addition, if the Unstable Affliction is dispelled it will cause 990 damage to the dispeller and silence them for 5 sec. Only one Unstable Affliction or Immolate per Warlock can be active on any one target.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Unstable Affliction is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 110 per tick. It scales with 0.2 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (550 base in total).
- Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.
What it does
Unstable Affliction is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec.
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.
