How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1730.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 605 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (2420 base in total).

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 1730) and applies an aura every 3 sec. It stacks up to 3 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
