How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Jump (effect type 41). It triggers Death from Above.

What it does

Death from Above is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it makes the caster jump to the target. It also casts Death from Above (record #156527).

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.
