Launches a cannonball at the target. Inflicts 1500 Siege damage and generates 6 to 10 Heat.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 0.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 5 yards. It triggers Cannon Blast.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 6.

What it does

Cannon Blast is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 0.5 sec cooldown. When cast it launches a missile in a 5 yard radius and restores a resource (base value 6). It also casts Cannon Blast (record #69400).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
