How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Charge is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100).

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.
