Sacrifices 20% of your current health to shield you for 200% of the sacrificed health plus an additional for 20 sec. Usable while suffering from control impairing effects.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 200.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). It scales with 5 times spell power.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. It scales with 2.0573 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec.

What it does

Dark Pact is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
