Inflicts Physical damage and leaves the target wounded, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 25% for 5 sec.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -25.

What it does

Mortal Strike is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 5 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) and 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.
