How it works

Gnomish Death Ray is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 4 sec. It triggers Gnomish Death Ray.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.

What it does

Gnomish Death Ray is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 4 sec. It also casts Gnomish Death Ray (record #13280).

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.
