Sacrifices the current target, stunning it and leeching health every 1 sec for 8 sec.

How it works

Sacrifice is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 53. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (40 base in total).

What it does

Sacrifice is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect, applies an aura with the stunned mechanic and applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
