Tooltip

Jabs the target in the throat, interrupting spellcasting and preventing any spell from that school of magic from being cast for 5 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its base value is 1. It applies the interrupted mechanic.

What it does

Spear Hand Strike is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic.

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.
