How it works

Each cast of Riptide costs 1000 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 27750. It scales with 0.238 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 4625 per tick. It scales with 0.075 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (23125 base in total).

What it does

Riptide is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it heals (base value 27750) 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.
