Tooltip

Hurls a harpoon at an enemy, rooting them in place for 3 sec and pulling you to them.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 455.

What it does

Harpoon is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the rooted 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.
