Tooltip

Deals 8750 to 11250 Shadow damage to all enemies within a 10 yard cone in front of the caster. In addition, deals 1750 to 2250 Shadow damage to all enemies, knocking them down.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8750. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1750. Its area radius is 200 yards.

What it does

Dark Smash is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 8750) in a 10 yard radius, applies an aura in a 200 yard radius and deals Shadow damage (base value 1750) in a 200 yard radius.

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.
