How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 60 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers AI Cast AoE.

What it does

Impale is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. It also casts AI Cast AoE.

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.
