Tooltip

Hellfire Deathcallers blast several players with demonic energy, inflicting 38.8648 Shadow damage and increasing their Shadow damage taken by 25% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 38.8648.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 38.8648) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
