Ambushes the target, reducing its health by 90% and stunning them for 2 sec.

How it works

Ambush is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 90. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Ambush is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
