How it works

Each cast of Arcane Shock costs 110 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Arcane Shock is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 297. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 50 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (200 base in total).

What it does

Arcane Shock is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 297) and applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
