How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Jump (effect type 41). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 40 yards. It triggers Gaping Wound.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 96569.

What it does

Gaping Wound is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 5-20 yards. When cast it makes the caster jump to the target up to 40 yards and launches a missile in a 40 yard radius. It also casts Gaping Wound (record #96570).

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.
