How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 350.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 30. Its base value is -100.

What it does

Unbalancing Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 350) and 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.
