Charges an enemy, inflicting Physical damage and stunning the opponent for 2 sec.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Charge is built from 3 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 175.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the stunned mechanic.

What it does

Charge is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 8-25 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 175) and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic.

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.
