Gives your damaging melee attacks a chance to reduce the target's Attack Power, and increase your Attack Power for 30 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Vindication is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 8 separate Spell records named "Vindication". This page is record #9452. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
