How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Blast Wave is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 19 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
