Sap the soul of your target for 20 sec, causing you to be healed for 50% of the damage you deal to them, up to total healing.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Soul Sap.

What it does

Soul Sap is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Soul Sap (record #215938).

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.
