Slash commits you to a rectangle

The client record describes three forward attacks while rooted. The final hit is stronger. Blizzard calls its final control effect a stun; the 1254039 spell record uses stagger. Keep that distinction when describing which enemy casts it can stop.

Two Silver Bolt descriptions

Both versions describe an airborne immune window. Their targeting and follow-up differ, which matters if you are using the jump to cross a telegraph.

Choose a landing line

The 1283542 and 1327403 descriptions mention landing along your movement direction. Use the matching tooltip to identify which version you are reviewing. The records alone leave the currently active variant and the exact immunity end frame unresolved.
