How it works

Ground Pound is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 4 sec, 151200 times over the full 168 hr. It triggers Ground Pound.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 4 sec, 151200 times over the full 168 hr. It triggers Drain Ancient Ward.

What it does

Ground Pound is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 168 hr. When cast it applies an aura every 4 sec. It also casts Ground Pound (record #298534) and Drain Ancient Ward.

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.
