Channels a fire storm down upon enemies.

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.

Black Skies is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Black Skies is a spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 sec cooldown and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
