Shadewing releases a piercing screech, inflicting 20 Shadow damage and disorienting all players for 4 sec.

How it works

Dread Screech is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. It applies the disoriented mechanic. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Dread Screech is a Shadow spell with a 5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 20) in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura with the disoriented mechanic in a 100 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented mechanic.

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.
