Death Coil

Tooltip

Causes the enemy target to run in horror for 6 sec and causes 430 Shadow damage. The caster gains 100% of the damage caused in health.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Death Coil is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 430. It scales with 0.214 times spell power. Its area radius is 70 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the horrified mechanic. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Death Coil is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 430) in a 70 yard radius and applies an aura with the horrified mechanic in a 100 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
