Stuns the target for 4 sec. Must be stealthed. Awards 2 combo points and causes you to appear behind the target.

How it works

Each cast of Cheap Shot costs 40 Energy. Casting it triggers a 0.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 328, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 2.

What it does

Cheap Shot is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it 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.
