Shadow Blast

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. 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 7.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (3 base in total).

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 7) and applies an aura every 1 sec. It stacks up to 5 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.
