Hack and Slash

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Extra Attacks (effect type 19). Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Hack and Slash is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it grants extra attacks.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
