Tooltip

Ezzorak ejects a moving mass of pure darkness in a frontal direction, inflicting 15 to 45 Shadow damage to all players upon arrival, creating a Gloomfield.

Gloom damage done and the size of Gloomfield decreases up to 4 times as players contact the darkness, applying Gloomtouched.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3.

What it does

Gloom is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 15) in a 300 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.
