Tooltip

Inflicts 2 Shadow damage to all creatures and players every 1 sec for 6 sec. Caster heals for 200% of the damage inflicted.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 2.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 200.

What it does

Siphon Life is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 2).

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.
