Tooltip

The Ethereal Shade dashes through its target, inflicting 12 Shadow damage and an additional 3 Shadow damage every 1 sec for 15 sec to players hit.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Nether Dash.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 3 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (45 base in total).

What it does

Nether Dash is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 12) and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Nether Dash (record #1222098).

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.
