How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 20 sec.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 1. It triggers Argent Dawn.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.

What it does

Argent Dawn is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Argent Dawn (record #17351).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
