Shadow Word: Pain deals an additional damage over its duration. When an enemy dies while afflicted by your Shadow Word: Pain, you gain 5 Insanity.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Energize (effect type 30).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Death Throes.

What it does

Death Throes is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it restores a resource. It also casts Death Throes (record #278659).

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.
