How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.281 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 30.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30).

What it does

Devastate is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage and restores a resource. It stacks up to 3 times.

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.
