Inflicts severe Physical damage to enemies in front of the caster.

Inflicts triple damage to targets affected.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 1 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Swipe is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and a 5 sec cooldown.

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.
