How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 65 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2250. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Crashing Wave is a Frost spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 2250) in a 100 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 100 yard radius.

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.
