Inflicts impending doom upon the target, dealing (104.4% of Spell Power) Shadow damage immediately and (290.9% of Spell Power) Shadow damage to enemies after 20 sec. Damage is reduced beyond 8 targets.

Consuming a Demonic Core reduces the duration of Doom by 3 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 2.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 8.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.0441 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 3.

What it does

Doom is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Shadow damage.

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.
