Shadow Blast

How it works

Shadow Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Jump to Destination (effect type 42).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Shadow Blast.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it makes the caster jump to a location and launches a missile. It also casts Shadow Blast (record #83981).

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.
