Overload

How it works

Casting it triggers a 3 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 71.3714. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 140. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Overload is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 71.3714) in a 10 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 10 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.
