How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 16. Its base value is 90.

What it does

Shadowstep is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
