- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 49. Its base value is 15. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.
- Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 180. It scales with 1 times spell power.
What it does
Ghostly Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125), applies an aura and restores a resource (base value 1).
