Ping Area

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Dinner on the Run.

What it does

Ping Area is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 50 yards. It also casts Dinner on the Run.

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.
