How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 160 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (800 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 200 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (1000 base in total).

What it does

Drain Life is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
