Scatter Shot

Tooltip

A short-range shot that deals (4.5% of Attack Power) damage, removes all harmful damage over time effects, and incapacitates the target for 3 sec. Any damage caused will remove the effect. Turns off your attack when used.

Targets incapacitated by Scatter Shot deal 10% less damage to you for 8 sec after the effect ends.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Scatter Shot is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.0446 times attack power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. It scales with 0.25 times spell power. It applies the disoriented mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Scatter Shot.

What it does

Scatter Shot is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage and applies an aura with the disoriented mechanic. It also casts Scatter Shot (record #37506).

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.
