How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 75.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 25 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (125 base in total).

What it does

Shiv is a Nature spell with a 0.1 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 75) and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
