How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 650. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Shadow Shock is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 20 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 650).

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.
