Tooltip

Tether your soul to an ally for 60 min, redirecting 20% of their damage taken to you as Shadow damage. This effect can be used on up to 5 allies. Recasting on a tethered ally or moving further than 100 yards away removes the effect.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Soul Tether 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 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 332. Its base value is 444677.

What it does

Soul Tether is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
