How it works

Each cast of Shadowstrike costs 20 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Shadowstrike is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 2 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 150. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  4. Effect 4 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Shadowstrike is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 25 yards. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 2 yard radius, deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150) and restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
