Tooltip

A word of dark binding that inflicts (150% of Spell Power) Shadow damage to the target. If the target is not killed by Shadow Word: Death, the caster takes damage equal to the damage inflicted upon the target.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Shadow Word: Death is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.5 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 150.

What it does

Shadow Word: Death is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and an 8 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage.

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.
