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 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 240. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Shockwave.

What it does

Shockwave is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 60 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 30 yard radius and launches a missile. It also casts Shockwave (record #119931).

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.
