Zskarn unleashes a that knocks all players back, inflicting 40 Fire damage on impact and an additional 6 Fire damage every 0.5 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 6 per tick. Its area radius is 300 yards. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec (72 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 300 yards.

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 40) in a 300 yard radius and applies an aura in a 300 yard radius every 0.5 sec.

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.
