Void Blast

How it works

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

Void Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 6.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 16 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 4 times over the full 2 sec (64 base in total).

What it does

Void Blast is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 20 yards, a 1.5 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 6) and applies an aura every 0.5 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.
