Skolex faces a random player and retches up boring acid on all players in front of it, inflicting Shadow damage on impact and 11 Shadow damage every.

In addition, players will be teleported randomly twice while afflicted.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 360451. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Retch.

What it does

Retch is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an 8 sec cooldown. It also casts Retch (record #364906).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 10 separate Spell records named "Retch". This page is record #360092. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
