Oblivion Spear

Tooltip

Your damaging abilities have a chance to launch an oblivion spear at your target, inflicting Shadow damage. On impact, the spear will shatter towards you. You will be silenced for 1.5 sec if struck.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its base value is 1.

What it does

Oblivion Spear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
