How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Energy Siphon is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Energy Siphon is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 0.0 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 15 yard radius.

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.
