Lei Shen throws his axe with supernatural force, inflicting 3000000 Physical damage and increasing Physical damage taken by 100%. 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 School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3000000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Decapitate is a Physical spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 3000000) and applies an aura.

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.
