Tooltip

Leaps to the enemy's location. In addition, Physical damage is increased by 150% for 8 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Jump to Destination (effect type 42). It triggers Shadow Pounce.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 150.

What it does

Shadow Pounce is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 8-40 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it makes the caster jump to a location and applies an aura. It also casts Shadow Pounce (record #183758).

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.
