Shadowstep

Tooltip

The caster steps through the shadows and reappears behind the target, striking their nerves. The victim is rooted for 3 sec.

How it works

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

Shadowstep is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 2.5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Shadowstep is a spell with a 0.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 2.5 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.
