How it works

Shadow Word: Pain 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 1.1 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 8 times over the full 16 sec (8.8 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 4.

What it does

Shadow Word: Pain is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 16 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and restores a resource (base value 4).

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.
