Tooltip

The Remnant of Ner'zhul afflicts random targets with Malevolence for 21 sec. When this effect is removed all players are knocked back from the victim's location and take 20 Shadow damage.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 10 per tick. Its area radius is 300 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 7 times over the full 21 sec (70 base in total). It triggers Malevolence.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 80. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Malevolence is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 300 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 21 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 300 yard radius every 3 sec and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius. It also casts Malevolence (record #350427).

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.
