How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Black Hole is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
