Calls down Dark Matter from the void, inflicting Shadow damage to all enemies of the impact and stunning them for 2 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Dark Matter is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 300) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 5 yard radius.

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.
