Tooltip

The caster pounds the ground, inflicting 10 Physical damage to nearby enemies and slowing them.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -20. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Ground Pound is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 10 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 10) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 3 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.
