How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 144. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Ground Smash is a Physical spell with a 4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 144) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
