A vicious strike that deals weapon damage plus and infects the target with Blood Plague, a disease dealing Shadow damage over time.
How it works
Each cast of Plague Strike costs 1 Power (22). Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Plague Strike is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 125.
- Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 50.
- Effect 3 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 a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50). It also casts Blood Plague.
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.
