How it works

Shadow Sweep 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 30 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (60 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Shadow Sweep is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
