Devour

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Devour is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 10 yards. When cast it kills the target outright.

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.
