Pierces an enemies armor, increasing their damage taken by 50%.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Pierce Armor is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
