How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Shadow Barrage is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Shadow Barrage.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Shadow Barrage.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Shadow Barrage.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Shadow Barrage.

What it does

Shadow Barrage is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 20 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec.
