How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5.4096. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1.1389 per tick. Its area radius is 3 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec (5.69 base in total).

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 5.4096) in a 3 yard radius and applies an aura in a 3 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
