Piston Smasher

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 7 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Piston Smasher is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 7 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
