Spikes pierce the floor and then rise up, dealing 34.0204 Physical damage and knocking up enemy targets in a line away from the caster.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 1 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 34.0204. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 34.0204) in a 45 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 45 yard radius.

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.
