How it works

Each cast of Shiv costs 30 Energy. It works on charges (charge category 2086); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.254 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.
  4. Effect 4 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Shiv is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage, restores a resource (base value 1) and dispels effects.

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.
