Skewers the target stunning them. In addition Skewer inflicts 8.30193 damage every 2 sec and increases damage taken by 150%.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8.3019 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (33.21 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 150.

What it does

Skewer is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 8 yards, an 8 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 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.
