Consumes the nearest Faceless Overseer, killing it and transferring 200% of its health to the caster.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 53. Its base value is 40000 per tick. Its area radius is 40 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (120000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 57346.

What it does

Consume Essence is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 40 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
