Merciless

Tooltip

The Jailer's assault is endless. Periodically, fragments of the battery rain down upon the nearby platforms, inflicting 60 Shadow damage to players of the point of impact.

If no players are, the damage increases to 150 Shadow damage to all players from the impact location.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 38 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 38 yards.

What it does

Merciless is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 150) in a 38 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.
