How it works

Essence Rend is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. It triggers Latent Cultist.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (120 base in total).

What it does

Essence Rend is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 20), applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Latent Cultist.

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.
