Dark Blast

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1750. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Dark Blast is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1750) in a 100 yard radius and kills the target outright.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
