Drains health from an enemy over 6 sec., transferring it to the caster.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. 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 0.4478 per tick. Its area radius is 30 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (1.34 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 20. Its base value is 2 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (6 base in total).

What it does

Drain Life is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 4 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 30 yard radius every 2 sec and applies an aura every 2 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.
