Dark Tear

How it works

Dark Tear is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers spell id 473630.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 93.

What it does

Dark Tear is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it 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.
