How it works

Lingering Darkness is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 72.7683 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 50. It applies the snared mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Lingering Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec, applies an aura with the snared mechanic and applies an aura.

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.
