How it works

Each cast of Ambush costs 40 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.25 times spell power and 0.8456 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Ambush is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage and restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
