How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 90, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Ping Huln.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Summon Blightwing.

What it does

Investigating is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast and a range of 5 yards. It also casts Ping Huln and Summon Blightwing.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 84 separate Spell records named "Investigating". This page is record #315063. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
