How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Shadow Pounce is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Shadow Pounce is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 3 yard radius 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.
