Haunt

Tooltip

You send a ghostly soul into the target, dealing 405 to 473 Shadow damage and increasing all damage done by your Shadow damage-over-time effects on the target by 20% for 12 sec. When the Haunt spell ends or is dispelled, the soul returns to you, healing you for 100% of the damage it did to the target.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 405.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 271. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Haunt is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 405) and 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.
