Tooltip

The Tail Tentacle is preparing to Impale it's target, inflicting 400000 Physical damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 4 sec. It triggers Impale.

What it does

Impale is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 4 sec. It also casts Impale (record #106444).

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.
