How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec. It triggers Ground Pound.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 226, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Ground Pound is a spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 6 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Ground Pound (record #244986).

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.
