Breathes Shadow damage to players in a cone in front of the caster.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Dark Discharge is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Dark Discharge is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
