Tooltip

Builds a sphere of Arcane energy, gaining power over 1 sec.

Upon release, the sphere passes through any barriers, knocking enemies back and dealing up to Arcane damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.08 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 70. It applies the knockbacked mechanic.

What it does

Arcanosphere is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Arcane damage and has a Knock Back effect with the knockbacked mechanic.

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.
