Orb of Corruption

Tooltip

Explodes on impact with the ground, inflicting 50 Shadow damage to all players. Pulses every 5 sec while grounded for 100% increased damage. Intercepting the Orb of Corruption launches the orb into the air and afflicts the intercepting player with Corruptor's Pact.

How it works

Orb of Corruption is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers System Override.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Orb of Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it launches a missile in a 10 yard radius and summons a creature in a 5 yard radius. It also casts System Override.

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.
