Tooltip

Counters an enemy's spell, dealing 23125 to 26875 Arcane damage and preventing the enemy from casting that spell again for 3 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 23125. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.

What it does

Sonic Boom is an Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 45 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 23125) and interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
