How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Broadside is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35.474. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Broadside.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Broadside.

What it does

Broadside is an Arcane spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and a 4 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 35.474) in a 45 yard radius. It also casts Broadside (record #279577) and Broadside (record #279585).

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.
