Generates 1 Holy Power.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1663); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.0074 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 129. Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.7555 times spell power. Its area radius is 12 yards.

What it does

Judgment is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Holy damage, applies an aura and deals Holy damage in a 12 yard radius.

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.
