Shadow Axe

Tooltip

Ingvar the Plunderer throws his Shadow Axe at a random player. The axe will spin at the target location for 10 sec, inflicting 14.2743 Shadow damage every 1 sec to all nearby enemies.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Throw Axe.

What it does

Shadow Axe is a spell with a 1 sec cast, an unlimited range, a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it summons a creature. It also casts Throw Axe.

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.
