How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 3. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 120.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 1. It triggers Blood Plague.

What it does

Plague Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 4 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 120). It also casts Blood Plague.

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.
