You attempt to finish off a wounded target, dealing Physical damage. Only useable on enemies with less than 20% health.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Execute is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 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.
