Upon reaching 100 energy, Zek'voz unleashes a series of eruptions in quick succession. Each eruption inflicts 90 Shadow damage to players caught within it. In addition, each eruption inflicts 10 Shadow damage to all players.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 90. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Surging Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 300 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 90) in a 30 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.
