How it works

Rain of Darkness is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 55 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Rain of Darkness.

What it does

Rain of Darkness is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 55 yards and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Rain of Darkness (record #178517).

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.
