Tooltip

Defile the targeted ground, dealing Shadow damage to all enemies over 10 sec, and inflict Death's Due for 12 sec.

Death's Due reduces damage enemies deal to you by 2%, up to a maximum and their power is transferred to you as an equal amount of Strength.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.15 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 66.

What it does

Defile is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage.

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.
