How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2625. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 175. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 2625) in a 20 yard radius, applies an aura in a 20 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 20 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70003. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
