Inflicts 36.7945 Shadow damage to all enemies in a cone in front of the caster, causing them to flee in fear for 3 sec.

How it works

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

Terror Wail is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 36.7945. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It applies the fleeing mechanic. Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Terror Wail is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 50 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 36.7945) in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura with the fleeing mechanic in a 50 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.
