How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Intercept is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 8-25 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic and deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100).

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.
