How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 55.9756 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (111.95 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Dark Fissure is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and 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.
