Death Coil

Tooltip

Causes the enemy target to run in horror for 3 sec and causes 5700 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 5700. It scales with 0.214 times spell power. It jumps to up to 5 targets.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It scales with 1 times spell power. It jumps to up to 5 targets.

What it does

Death Coil is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 5700) jumping to up to 5 targets and applies an aura jumping to up to 5 targets.

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.
