Shadow Strike

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 254, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Shadow Strike is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it 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.
