Inflicts 400000 Physical damage and increases Impale damage taken by 100% for 45 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 400000. It applies the bleeding mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 400000) with the bleeding mechanic and applies an aura. It stacks up to 4 times.

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.
