Tooltip

Archimonde brands his target, summoning a Hellfire Deathcaller, inflicting 167.602 Shadow damage and an additional 35.196 Shadow every second until the Hellfire Deathcaller is killed.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Death Brand is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 167.602.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 35.196 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Death Brand is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 167.602), applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
