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 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 500.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Petrification.

What it does

Earthquake is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 500) and has a Knock Back effect. It also casts Petrification.

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.
