Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 25. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Crashing Wave is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast and a range of 20 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 25) in a 30 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 30 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.
