How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 108. Its base value is -20.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 256.

What it does

Decimation is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
