what does the decay power field mean?

what does the decay power field mean?

"Data - Attack Speed Factor" -> What the targets attack speed is while under the Shadow Strike effect
"Data - Decay Power" -> How many seconds it will take for another damage tick to go off
"Data - Decaying Damage" -> How powerful the ticks are
"Data - Initial Damage" -> How much initial damage the Shadow Strike ability does
"Data - Movement Speed Factor" -> What the targets movement speed is while under the Shadow Strike effect

Small correction:
The Cast Time is how many seconds between damage ticks.

I believe the Decay Power has to do with how long the slow lasts.

Cast time is how long it will take before the spell is cast (clicked on target) till is actually fires.

The ability is not considered 'Cast' until the Cast Time is completed.
Once completed, it triggers animations and Triggered Effects.

Decay Power has to do with something related to the duration or strength of recovery from the Slow/Disable.

For most spells, yes. For Shadow Strike, it is the time between damage ticks. Screwy? Yes. But just open a test map and change Cast Time of Shadow Strike to 0.5 and see what happens.

Shadow Strike is an exception to this rule.

This is correct. After some testing, it appears that Decay Power for Shadow Strike controls how many steps the slow effect goes through before it's gone. If your slow is 50%, and your Decay Power is 3, I think the slow will be 50%, then 33%, then 17%, then 0%. I'm not sure if the interval between steps of the speed recovery is Duration divided by Decay Power, or 1 second or something else.

If you have tested it, I believe you and stand corrected

Even if you are correct, don't double post. It is still a rule around here.
