The Dark of Night

How it works

The Dark of Night is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 122782.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 3617.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers The Dark of Night.

What it does

The Dark of Night is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it kills the target outright. It also casts The Dark of Night (record #130013).

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.
