How it works

Each cast of Shadowburn costs 10 Power (14). Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 10. It triggers Shadowburn.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1. It scales with 3.5 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 15.

What it does

Shadowburn is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1). It also casts Shadowburn (record #29341).

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.
