Reduces movement speed by 30% and deals 6 Shadowflame damage over 6 sec. Generates 2.2.1 Demonic Fury every time it deals damage.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1225); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Hand of Gul'dan is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 8 yards. It triggers Hand of Gul'dan.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Hand of Gul'dan is a Fire and Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it launches a missile in an 8 yard radius. It also casts Hand of Gul'dan (record #143381).

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.
