Launch

Tooltip

You're not sure how to shoot fiery boulders from the catapult. But you're pretty sure you could fling yourself pretty far with it!

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Launch [INTERNAL].

What it does

Launch is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. It also casts Launch [INTERNAL].

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 46 separate Spell records named "Launch". This page is record #68659. 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.
