Causes the ground to tremble, inflicting 8 Physical damage to all nearby enemies every 1 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Earthquake.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Earthquake is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Earthquake (record #369327).

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.
