Tooltip

Lei Shen throws his axe with supernatural force, inflicting 3000000 Physical damage. The damage inflicted decreases the farther away the target is from Lei Shen.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Decapitate.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Decapitate.

What it does

Decapitate is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Decapitate (record #134919) and Decapitate (record #134992).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
