How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 9.813 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (78.5 base in total).

What it does

Siphon Essence is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, an unlimited range, a 7 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec.
