Viciously slash an enemy with Shadow magic, instantly inflicting Shadow damage with additional Shadow damage every 3 sec for 12 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 25 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (100 base in total).

What it does

Shadow Slash is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 200) and applies an aura every 3 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.
