Decapitate

Tooltip

Swings twice with deadly accuracy, inflicting 45 Physical damage each time, applying. This attack cannot be blocked, dodged, or parried.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Decapitate.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Cooldown: Creature Special 1 (3s).

What it does

Decapitate is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. It also casts Decapitate (record #410258) and Cooldown: Creature Special 1 (3s).

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.
