Oblivion Sphere

Tooltip

Summons an Oblivion Sphere near an player. The Oblivion Sphere charms all players within 5 yards.

While charmed, the sphere applies Annihilation every 2 sec.

Players remain under the sphere's control until they are knocked out of the sphere's area of influence. Attacking players under the effects of Oblivion Sphere will knock them back slightly.

When a player is freed, they trigger Crashing Oblivion.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Oblivion Sphere is built from 8 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -99.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 60.
  6. Effect 6 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 294.
  7. Effect 7 is effect type 226, which the datamine does not name.
  8. Effect 8 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Oblivion Sphere is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura.
