Fire a shot at the supply boats.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 5 yards. It triggers Northwatch Battery Impact.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 61, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Cannon Blast is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 30-200 yards and a 1.5 sec cooldown. When cast it launches a missile in a 5 yard radius. It also casts Northwatch Battery Impact.

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.
