How it works

Impale 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 Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 6825 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 4 times over the full 4 sec (27300 base in total).

What it does

Impale is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. 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.
