Lady Temptessa's shadow blade causes enemies to suffer Shadow damage every 2 sec. and reduces their healing received by 50% for 10 sec.

How it works

Shadow Slash 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 35 per tick. Its area radius is 25 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (175 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 25 yards.

What it does

Shadow Slash is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 25 yard radius every 2 sec and applies an aura in a 25 yard radius.

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.
