Launch

Tooltip

Fires a ball of napalm, dealing 2828 to 3172 Fire damage to all enemies within 5 yards of the impact. In addition, targets will be covered in napalm, dealing 3000 Fire per second for 5 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Launch costs 40 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Launch is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster).

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.
