Shadowstep

How it works

Shadowstep is built from 3 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 128.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Backstab.

What it does

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