Tooltip

Charge to an enemy, dealing Physical damage, rooting it for 1 sec, and stunning it.

Generates 20 Rage.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1386); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 200.

What it does

Charge is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 8-25 yards. When cast it restores a resource (base value 200).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 340 separate Spell records named "Charge". This page is record #100. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
