Sacrifice

Tooltip

Sacrifices the Voidwalker, giving its owner a shield that will absorb 510 damage for 30 sec. While the shield holds, spellcasting will not be interrupted by damage.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 510.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Sacrifice is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura and kills the target outright.

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.
