Death Coil

Tooltip

Causes the enemy target to run in horror for 3 sec and causes 24.806 Shadow damage. The caster gains 100% of the damage caused in health.

How it works

Each cast of Death Coil costs 565 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 24.806. It scales with 0.214 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Death Coil is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 24.806) 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.
