Deals (171.6% of Attack Power) Shadow damage and reduces their movement speed by 60% for 6 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Necrotic Bolt costs 1 Energy. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.7159 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 60. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Necrotic Bolt is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage and applies an aura with the snared 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.
