Inflicts Physical damage to enemies in a cone in front of a caster and reduces their healing received by 30% for 10 sec.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -30. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Skewer is a Physical spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 10 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 150) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

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.
