Tooltip

The boss causes shadow tornadoes to form on random enemies. After 10 sec tornadoes appear at the enemy destinations that will pull nearby targets into them, inflicting 11.1951 Shadow damage every 1 sec for 4 sec.

While the dark winds are forming, the target can disperse Venomous Pools.

How it works

Twisting Shadows is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 236.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 11.1951 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 4 times over the full 4 sec (44.78 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.

What it does

Twisting Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura, applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic.

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.
