Inflicts 40 Physical damage to target enemy and bleed them for 4 Physical damage every 1 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It applies the bleeding mechanic. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (24 base in total).

What it does

Puncture is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 40) and applies an aura with the bleeding mechanic every 1 sec.

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.
