Steps through the shadows and reappears behind the enemy.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Shadow Strikes.

What it does

Shadow Strikes is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and a 6 sec cooldown. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 4 yard radius. It also casts Shadow Strikes (record #169063).

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.
