How it works

Ground Slam 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 1 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Ground Slam.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 110. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Ground Slam is a Nature spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 2 sec and has a Knock Back effect in a 100 yard radius. It also casts Ground Slam (record #50833).

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.
