How it works

Each cast of Blast Wave costs 120 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 37. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 80. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 37) in a 10 yard radius, applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 10 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
