How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 125. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 135.5. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Geyser is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and deals Frost damage (base value 135.5) in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
