Self Destruct

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Self Destruct is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and a 2 sec cooldown. When cast it kills the target outright.

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.
