How it works

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

Death Pact is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 30.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118.

What it does

Death Pact is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 15 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.
