Inflicts 150 Physical damage and pulls the target to the caster.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 150.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 124, which the datamine does not name. It applies the gripped mechanic.

What it does

Hook is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast and a range of 20-60 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150). The client files the whole spell under the gripped 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.
