How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Die by the Sword is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -20. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

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.
