Imbues the caster's claws with raw energy, causing attacks to deal additional Shadow damage.

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.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 1. It triggers Poison Claws.

What it does

Shadow Claws is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Poison Claws.

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.
