Drains the life from enemies, inflicting Shadow damage to them every 1 seconds and transferring it to your allies for 10 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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 0.6815 per tick. Its area radius is 15 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (6.81 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Life Essence.

What it does

Drain Life is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 12 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 15 yard radius every 1 sec. It also casts Life Essence.

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.
