Shadow Shock

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Shadow Shock is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 20) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
