Touch of Darkness

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 7 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (70 base in total).

What it does

Touch of Darkness is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 60 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
