Riptide

Tooltip

Heals a friendly target for 639 to 691 and another 798 over 18 sec. Your Chain Heal spells are 25% more effective when their primary target is affected by your Riptide.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Riptide is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 639. It scales with 0.339 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 133 per tick. It scales with 0.16 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec (798 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 25.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Riptide is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it heals (base value 639) and applies an aura every 3 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
