Tooltip

Xanesh strikes her current target with a tendril of void energy, knocking them back and inflicting 80 Shadow damage.

Increases damage taken by 25% for 1 min.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 80.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 25. It applies the infected mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 60.

What it does

Abyssal Strike is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, an unlimited range, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 min. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 80), applies an aura with the infected mechanic and has a Knock Back effect. The client files the whole spell under the infected mechanic. It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
