Tooltip

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.

Replaces Immolate.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.248 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 50.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Wither.

What it does

Wither is a Fire and Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Fire and Shadow damage. It also casts Wither (record #445474).

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.
