How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 9. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 800.

What it does

Decimate is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 min. When cast it applies an aura and deals Physical damage (base value 800).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
