Requirements
- Learned Death Coil; the source records its first rank at level 42. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
- This deliberately interrupts your current cast/channel when its stop condition matches, even if the new spell is on cooldown or cannot complete. It does not bypass the global cooldown.
- It damages the chosen enemy and restores health from the damage caused; immunity, range or resistance can prevent the intended recovery.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
