Tooltip

Causes the earth at the target location to tremble and break, slowing and dealing Nature damage every 1 sec to enemies in 8 yard radius. Lasts 45 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 45 times over the full 45 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Earthquake is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 1 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 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.
