Tooltip

Ky'veza tears open a rift to the Twisting Nether, inflicting 348 Shadow damage to players within 5 yards.

The rift inflicts 1.5 Shadow damage to all players every 1 sec for 6 sec and pulls players towards its center.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Nether Rift is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 4 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.
