Hurls a massive axe at a random enemy, dealing 1750 damage and stunning them for 2 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1750.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Throw Axe is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 1750) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
