How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 20.924 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (104.62 base in total).

What it does

Dismember is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 20 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.
