How it works

Deafening Screech is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Deafening Screech is a Shadow spell with a 3.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 15) in a 45 yard radius and interrupts spellcasting in a 45 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.
