Finishing move that stuns the target and creates shadow clones to stun all other nearby enemies. Lasts longer per combo point, up to 8 sec:
1 point : 4 seconds
2 points: 5 seconds
3 points: 6 seconds
4 points: 7 seconds
5 points: 8 seconds

How it works

Each cast of Kidney Shot costs 25 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Kidney Shot is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
