A sweeping tail strike hits all enemies behind the caster, inflicting 17500 to 22500 damage and stunning them for 2 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 17500. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Tail Lash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 17500) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
