Fires an orb of void energy at the enemy, inflicting 200 Shadow damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Void Orb.

What it does

Void Orb is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 5-80 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 200). It also casts Void Orb (record #216479).

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.
