  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 35.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3.

What it does

Scourge Strike is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage.

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.
