Inflicts Physical damage to an enemy and causes it to Bleed for additional damage every 2 sec. for 8 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 6000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 875 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (3500 base in total).

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 6000) and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec. It stacks up to 3 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.
