Tooltip

Sends a wave of force in a frontal cone before you, causing 0.29858 damage and stunning all enemy targets within 10 yards for 4 sec.

Causing damage to 3 or more targets lowers the cooldown of the next Shockwave by 20 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 75.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Shockwave is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 40 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage in a 10 yard radius.

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.
