Tooltip

Instantly strike with your off-hand weapon for normal off-hand weapon damage and increase your chance to parry by 100% for 5 sec or until you successfully parry. For 20 sec after using Main Gauche, Sinister Strike costs 20 less Energy, deals 50% more threat, grants stacks of Rolling with the Punches, and both Sinister Strike and Eviscerate deal 50% more damage. Awards 1 combo points.

Main Gauche benefits from most talents and effects that trigger from or modify Sinister Strike. Main Gauche's effect will not discount or empower Main Gauche.

How it works

Each cast of Main Gauche costs 15 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

Main Gauche is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Main Gauche is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
