Fatal Strike

Tooltip

An unerringly accurate strike that disrupts an enemy target's very being. Undefended, this attack is fatal, though active defensive abilities (Shield Block, Shield of the Righteous, Shuffle, Blood Shield, or Savage Defense) will offer some measure of protection.

How it works

Each cast of Fatal Strike costs 100 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 111111.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Fatal Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 111111) and kills the target outright.

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.
