Wailing Arrow

How it works

Wailing Arrow 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 Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 40.

What it does

Wailing Arrow is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
