Tooltip

The caster reels in a nearby player with their harpoon, inflicting 15 Physical damage and an additional 4 Physical damage every 1 sec for 10 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Harpoon.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (40 base in total).

What it does

Harpoon is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it launches a missile, deals Physical damage (base value 15) and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 1 sec. It also casts Harpoon (record #468635).

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.
