Rush forward, inflicting shadow damage to all enemies in a path 30 yards long.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 254, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Surge is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 1.5 sec cooldown.

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.
