Barbed Shot

Tooltip

Fire a shot that tears through your enemy, causing them to bleed for damage over 12 sec. If Barbed Shot is reapplied, any remaining damage will be added to the new Barbed Shot.

Generates over 8 sec.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1675); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 11.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 0.857 times attack power. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Barbed Shot is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding 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.
