This attack is only used by Araknath whenever he is not actively engaged in melee combat.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Blast Wave is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec (40 base in total).

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 7) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 1 sec. It stacks up to 99 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
