You and your pet deal simultaneous instant 100% melee damage. Your pet's Basic attacks have a 50% chance to reset the cooldown on Flanking Strike.
How it works
Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.
Flanking Strike is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is effect type 121, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 8.
- Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 50.
What it does
Flanking Strike is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 3 times.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
