How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Death Pact is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 50.

What it does

Death Pact is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 2 min cooldown. When cast it heals (base value 50).

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.
