Shadow Breath

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Shadow Breath is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 30) in a 45 yard radius.

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.
