Tooltip

Teleports the caster behind the target. Also frees the caster from any bonds.

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 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.

What it does

Shadowstep is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 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.
