Tooltip

The creature afflicts a player for 4 sec, inflicting 3.25 Shadow damage every 1 sec.

Upon removal, shadowy energy inflicts 8 Shadow damage to players of the victim and releases.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 10. It triggers Latent Hex.

What it does

Latent Hex is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown. It also casts Latent Hex (record #1302152).

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.
