Skills

Extra Attack [Passive Self Buff]

{{{title}}}

Hotkey: Q
n/a

Innate

0s

{{{range}}}

All attacks bounce and hit 2 extra targets.

{{{description}}}

This skill is what makes the dread shaman strong at DPS. His damage per hit starts out poor, but any bonus damage and attack speed gained effectively is multiplied by 3 in most cases. (it averages out to about a 2x gain) This makes dps pumps very efficient. Note that the additional bounces do FULL damage, unlike the standard warcraft version.
