Unleashes a growing wave of shadow that inflicts 18.8 Shadow damage to all players in its wake.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Shadow Wave is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 6 sec cooldown.

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.
