Strikes all enemies in front of you with a hungering attack that deals Physical damage and heals you of that damage. Deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets.

Causes your Blood Plague damage to occur 30% more quickly for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Consumption is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Health Leech (effect type 9). It scales with 1.8084 times attack power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Consumption.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.
  4. Effect 4 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 2.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Consumption is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it drains health from the target in an 8 yard radius, restores a resource (base value 2) and applies an aura. It also casts Consumption (record #274893).

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.
