How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 13.6027.

What it does

Devour Essence is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast and a range of 35 yards. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 13.6027).

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.
