Builds up a large charge of dark energy before slamming into the ground, dealing 58.489 Shadow damage to all enemies of the ground location, knocking them back.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it summons a creature and 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.
