Fires a spike through the floor, impaling all targets within 4 yards, dealing 2828 to 3172 damage and knocking them up in the air. This attack ignores armor.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1.5 sec. It triggers Impale.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 65922.

What it does

Pursuing Spikes is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec. It also casts Impale.

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.
