Inflicts 100% of weapon damage to an enemy and causes it to bleed for 2188 to 2812 damage per application every 2 sec. for 30 sec.

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 Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1400 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec (21000 base in total).

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 10 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.
