Tooltip

Summons a massive shadowy appendage to slam the ground, dealing (68.8% of Spell Power) Shadow damage in front of you and 8 yds around your target.

Applies Vampiric Touch to up to 6 enemies, prioritizing ones without Vampiric Touch.

Generates 6 Insanity.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1907); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Tentacle Slam is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 600.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 6.

What it does

Tentacle Slam is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it restores a resource (base value 600).

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.
