The caster pounds the ground, inflicting Physical damage to nearby enemies.

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 Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 320028 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 2 times over the full 6 sec (640056 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 320028.

What it does

Ground Pound is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
