Sends a wave of force in front of the ancient, causing 1110 to 1290 damage and knocking back all enemy targets within 30 yards.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 90. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1110. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Shockwave is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 30 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 1110) in a 30 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.
