How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2000.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150.

What it does

Chaos Wave is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 500 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 2000) and has a Knock Back 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.
