How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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 398. Its area radius is 9 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 30.

What it does

Ground Smash is a Physical spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and an 8 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 398) in a 9 yard radius and restores a resource (base value 30).

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.
