The Surge leaves behind an Ice Boulder, which blocks line of sight.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Glacial Surge is a Frost spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 35) in a 4 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 4 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.
