Energy Siphon

How it works

Energy Siphon is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Power Drain (effect type 8). Its base value is 1000. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Energy Siphon is a Physical spell with a 1.5 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it drains a resource from the target (base value 1000) 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.
