How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 3. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 162.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Blood Plague.

What it does

Plague Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 162). It also casts Blood Plague.

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.
