How it works

Each cast of Tidal Wave costs 150 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 139. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 65 yards.

What it does

Tidal Wave is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 25 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius and deals Nature damage (base value 139) in a 100 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
