Black Arrow

Tooltip

Curses an enemy, inflicting periodic Shadow damage over 15 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 2.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 6 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (90 base in total).

What it does

Black Arrow is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 45 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 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.
