Tooltip

The warrior will gain 100% increased critical strike chance and will be immune to Fear effects for the next 15 sec, but all damage taken is increased by 20%.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Recklessness is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 290. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Recklessness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 min cooldown and effects that last 15 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.
