How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Obsidian Skin is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 101. Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 700.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 285. It triggers Obsidian Destruction.

What it does

Obsidian Skin is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Obsidian Destruction.

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.
