Sends a wave of force in front of the warrior, causing damage and stunning all enemy targets within 10 yards in a frontal cone for 4 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 3 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 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 38.

What it does

Shockwave is a Physical spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 10 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 50) in a 10 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.
