Inflicts Shadow damage to nearby enemies and knocks them back.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1050. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Unleash Darkness is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1050) in an 8 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in an 8 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.
