Charge to your target, striking them for (660% of Spell Power) Cosmic damage, rooting them in place for 1.5 sec and inflicting (382.5% of Spell Power) Cosmic damage over 6 sec to enemies in your path.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

The Hunt is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name. It triggers The Hunt.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers The Hunt.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

The Hunt is a Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 50 yards, a 90 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts The Hunt (record #1246169) and The Hunt (record #370967).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
