How it works

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 Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Backstab.

What it does

Shadowstep is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 4 yard radius. It also casts Backstab.

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.
