Tooltip

You have a chance to follow up your attacks with Guillotine, hurling a massive axe in an arc at your target to deal Physical damage.

Damage increased by 2% for every 1% health the target is missing.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Guillotine 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 Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.

What it does

Guillotine is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
