Shadow Sweep

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Shadow Sweep.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 300 yards.

What it does

Shadow Sweep is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 300 yard radius. It also casts Shadow Sweep (record #234440).

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.
