Inflicts normal damage plus 20 on an enemy, but only if attacking from behind.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon Damage (effect type 58). Its base value is 20. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Shred is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and a 10 sec cooldown. When cast it deals weapon damage (base value 20).

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.
