Fire Cannon

How it works

Fire Cannon is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 86, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Fire Cannon is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range.

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.
