Tooltip

Calls forth a great Calamity, striking all players for 30% of their maximum health as Shadow damage. This also removes Shadow Word: Bane from all targets.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 10.

What it does

Calamity is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range.

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.
