How it works

Each cast of Execute costs 20 Rage. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Execute.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Execute Off-Hand.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30).

What it does

Execute is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 6 sec cooldown. When cast it restores a resource. It also casts Execute (record #280849) and Execute Off-Hand.

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.
