Snipe

Tooltip

Fires a single, powerful shot at the target. This shot inflicts greater damage the further the caster is from the target.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Marked for Death.

What it does

Snipe is a Physical spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and a 1 min cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 100) and launches a missile. It also casts Marked for Death.

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.
