How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 32.3792. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Heavy Slash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 32.3792) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
