Earthquake

Tooltip

The caster spews mounds of earth at nearby enemies. Each mound will inflict Physical damage at the point of impact and create an expanding shockwave that delivers damage to all players who don't jump over it.
Each bolt will bounce two additional times, creating Aftershocks.

How it works

Earthquake is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Hatch Eggs.

What it does

Earthquake is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 300) in a 5 yard radius and has a Create Area Effect effect. It also casts Hatch Eggs.

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.
