Bestows a vile malediction upon the target, burning the sinew and muscle of its host, dealing (24.8% of Spell Power) Shadowflame damage immediately and an additional (370.7% of Spell Power) Shadowflame damage over 18 sec.

Periodic damage generates 1 Soul Shard Fragment and has a 50% chance to generate an additional 1 on critical strikes.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 332. Its base value is 445468.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 330.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 332. Its base value is 445468.

What it does

Wither is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
