Sylvanas heaves corrupted blades, inflicting 16.5 Shadow damage every 1 sec for 9 sec to all struck targets.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 16.5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 9 times over the full 9 sec (148.5 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Shadow Dagger is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
