Tooltip

Inflicts Shadow damage to an enemy and additional Shadow damage every 3 sec for 20 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 3. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Plague Strike is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec.

What it does

Plague Strike is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
