Cheap Shot

Tooltip

Inflicts normal damage on an enemy, stunning it for 4 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Cheap Shot is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 5 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
