How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is -50.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -2500.

What it does

Desecrate is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
