Sweeping Spear

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Sweeping Spear.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Sweeping Spear.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Sweeping Spear.

What it does

Sweeping Spear is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 1 sec cooldown. It also casts Sweeping Spear (record #238451), Sweeping Spear (record #238449) and Sweeping Spear (record #238450).

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.
