How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Jump (effect type 41). It triggers Shadow Bite.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Shadow Bite is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 60 yards. When cast it makes the caster jump to the target. It also casts Shadow Bite (record #360874).

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.
