How it works

Piston Smasher is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Piston Smasher is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 30) in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 4 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.
