How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Impale.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 148838.

What it does

Impale is a spell with a 1 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Impale (record #149723).

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.
