Lasts 6 sec.

How it works

Dark Shell is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 15. Its base value is 750.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 28. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Dark Shell is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
