The caster leaps at the target and bites them with shadowy jaws, inflicting 4 Shadow damage and an additional 3 Shadow damage every 2 sec for 8 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 3 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (12 base in total).

What it does

Shadow Bite is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 4) and applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
