Draws upon surrounding shadows to empower your weapons, causing your attacks to deal 20% additional damage as Shadow and causing your combo point generating abilities to generate double combo points for 16 sec.

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 Blades is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is 100.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 218. Its base value is 100.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108.

What it does

Shadow Blades is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 90 sec cooldown and effects that last 16 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
