Inflicts 12 Shadow damage to an enemy and absorbs healing.

How it works

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

Death Bolt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301. Its base value is 12.

What it does

Death Bolt is a Shadow spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 50 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 12) 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.
