Gale Force

How it works

Gale Force is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its area radius is 30 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Gale Force is a Nature spell with a 3.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 30) in a 30 yard radius, interrupts spellcasting in a 30 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 30 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.
