How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 18.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 50.

What it does

Piercing Shot is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 18).

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.
