You attempt to finish off a wounded target, dealing (348.4% of Attack Power) Shadow damage and (400% of Attack Power) Shadow damage over 8 sec. Only usable on enemies above 80% health or below 20% health.

How it works

Each cast of Black Arrow costs 10 Focus. It works on charges (charge category 1873); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 3.484 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 80.

What it does

Black Arrow is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it 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.
