Pounce

Tooltip

Pounce, stunning the target for 2 sec and causing 90 damage over 18 sec. Must be prowling and behind the target. Awards 1 combo points.

How it works

Each cast of Pounce costs 50 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Pounce is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Pounce Bleed.
  3. Effect 3 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Pounce is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and restores a resource (base value 1). The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic. It also casts Pounce Bleed.

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.
