Rain of Darkness

How it works

Rain of Darkness is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Rain of Darkness.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Rain of Darkness is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 150 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it launches a missile and applies an aura. It also casts Rain of Darkness (record #52152).

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.
