Rip

How it works

Each cast of Rip costs 20 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 11.

Rip is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 0.3113 times attack power. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec, 2 times over the full 4 sec.
Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 2.
Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 6.
Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 271.

What it does

Rip is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding 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.
