Tooltip

Inflicts Shadow damage to enemies within 20 yards in a cone in front of the caster, reducing healing received by 50% for 10 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2500. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Soul Cleave is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 2500) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius.

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.
