Shadow Slash

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Shadow Slash.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.8 sec. It triggers Shadow Slash.

What it does

Shadow Slash is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 0.8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.8 sec. It also casts Shadow Slash (record #224611) and Shadow Slash (record #224612).

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.
