Assassination

How it works

Assassination is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Quest Complete (effect type 16).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 90, which the datamine does not name.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 139, which the datamine does not name.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 139, which the datamine does not name.
  5. Effect 5 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Force Specialization.

What it does

Assassination is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Quest Complete effect. It also casts Force Specialization.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 12 separate Spell records named "Assassination". This page is record #201345. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
