Shadow
WarlockTooltip
Shadow energy slowly destroys the target. In addition, if the Unstable Affliction is dispelled it will cause damage to the dispeller and silence them for 5 sec. Only one Unstable Affliction or Immolate per Warlock can be active on any one target.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.
Unstable Affliction is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. It applies the silenced mechanic.
What it does
Unstable Affliction is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1) and applies an aura with the silenced mechanic.
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.
