The spike impales the player, stunning them and inflicting 24 Physical damage every 1 sec until destroyed.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 24 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Impaled is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 150 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
