Continuously fires a volley of ammo at the target area, causing 0.116595 Arcane damage to enemy targets within 8 yards every second for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.1166 per tick. It scales with 0.056 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (0.7 base in total).

What it does

Volley is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 5-30 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
