How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Siphon Blood is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 30).

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.
