How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.4945 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.1978 times attack power. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Epidemic is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage and deals Shadow damage in an 8 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.
