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.
Dark Command is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is effect type 114, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 0.25 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 11. Its base value is 800.
What it does
Dark Command is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the taunted mechanic.
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.
