Frost spell.

Riptide

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 85. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 57. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 67. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Riptide is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 85) in a 10 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the disarmed mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
