Hurls a bolt of dark magic at an enemy, inflicting 31.0075 Shadow damage.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 31.0075. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Shadow Wave is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 31.0075) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 4 times.

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.
