Impaling Spear

Tooltip

Throws a spear at an enemy, rending the first target struck. The strike inflicts 28.7759 Physical damage every 2 sec and stuns for 12 sec.

How it works

Impaling Spear 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 28.7759 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (172.66 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.

What it does

Impaling Spear is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 2 sec and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic. 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.
