Spikes pierce the floor and then rise up, dealing 5688 to 7312 Physical damage and knocking up enemy targets in a line away from the caster.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 1 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5688. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 5688) in a 45 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 45 yard radius.

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.
