How it works

Rippling Wave is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Rippling Wave.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Rippling Wave is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast and a range of 10 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 15) in a 10 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius. It also casts Rippling Wave (record #404829).

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.
