How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125.

What it does

Shadow Bite is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 10 yards and a 2 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125).

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.
