Tooltip

Immobilizes the caster, but increases its attack speed by 100% for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Overdrive is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
