How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 6 yards.

What it does

Snipe is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and has a Create Area Effect effect in a 6 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 7 separate Spell records named "Snipe". This page is record #257440. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
