Lacerate

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon Damage (effect type 58). Its base value is 3. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -17. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Lacerate is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals weapon damage (base value 3) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the ensnared mechanic.

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.
