How it works

Each cast of Earthquake costs 60 Maelstrom. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 100 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (600 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 6. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Earthquake is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and has a Create Area Effect effect 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.
