How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 190000. Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Shockwave is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 50 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 190000) in a 50 yard radius.

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.
