Cannon Ball

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.

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Cannon Ball is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and a 5 sec cooldown. When cast it kills the target outright in a 20 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
