Binding Javelin

Tooltip

The caster launches an arcane javelin at a random player, inflicting 7 Arcane damage on impact and tethering them for 20 sec.

This tether inflicts 5 Arcane damage every 1.5 sec and reduces their movement speed by 50% until broken.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Binding Javelin is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
