Tooltip

A powerful strike that inflicts 6650 to 7350 Shadow damage and corrupts the enemy, dealing additional damage over 8 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Ritual Strike is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6650. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1000 per tick. Its area radius is 4 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (8000 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Ritual Strike is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 6650) in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura in a 4 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.
