Parasitic Shadowfiend

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Parasitic Shadowfiend is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 3000 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (15000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Parasitic Shadowfiend is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
