Launch

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 500.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Launch.

What it does

Launch is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Launch (record #16717).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70003. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.

The game client stores 46 separate Spell records named "Launch". This page is record #16716. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
