How it works

Each cast of Chaos Bolt costs 20 Soul Shards. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 4.2905 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 137, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Chaos Bolt is a Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane 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.
