Haunt

Tooltip

Send a ghostly soul to assault your current target, dealing 125 damage, and increasing all Shadow damage over time you deal to that target by 10% for 12 sec. When Haunt expires for any reason you will be healed for 100% of the damage it dealt to your target.

How it works

Each cast of Haunt costs 170 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 125. It scales with 0.429 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 271. Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Haunt is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 125) and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
