How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 60 yards. It triggers Dirge of Despair.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 60 yards. It triggers Dirge of Despair.

What it does

Discordant Beam is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. It also casts Dirge of Despair and Dirge of Despair.

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.
