How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 85. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Butchery is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.
