How it works

Decapitate is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 200.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 100 yards. It triggers Kill Credit: Ogre King.

What it does

Decapitate is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 6 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Kill Credit: Ogre King.

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.
