Inflicts 5850 to 6150 Nature damage every 1 sec to enemies within 5 yards for 10 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5850 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (58500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Unstable Energy.

What it does

Unstable Energy is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Unstable Energy (record #62454).

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.
