Tidal Surge

How it works

Tidal Surge is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 133. Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 136. Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 2000. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Tidal Surge is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70579. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
