Execute

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Execute is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 10 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and 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.
