Ambush

How it works

Ambush is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Caught.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Ambush.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Ambush.

What it does

Ambush is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Caught, Ambush (record #271923) and Ambush (record #271963).

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.
