Mortal Strike

Tooltip

A vicious strike that deals weapon damage plus 160 and wounds the target, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 50% for 10 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 160. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Mortal Strike is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
