Unleashes a wave of flame, inflicting Fire damage to nearby enemies and reducing their movement speed for 6 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Blast Wave is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 49. 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. It applies the snared mechanic. 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 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 49) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 20 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.
