Shockwave

Tooltip

Creates a growing cone of rumbling earth in front of the caster. Creatures caught in the area of effect get knocked into the air and will take falling damage when they land.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 270. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Shockwave.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Shockwave is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius, launches a missile and applies an aura. It also casts Shockwave (record #119929).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
