Hurls bolts of shadow periodically, inflicting Shadow damage on the area of impact.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 35 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Dark Rune.

What it does

Dark Rune is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 5-25 yards. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Dark Rune (record #88888).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 13 separate Spell records named "Dark Rune". This page is record #88887. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
