Restorative waters wash over a friendly target, healing them for (600% of Spell Power) and an additional (478.2% of Spell Power) over 18 sec.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1228); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Heal (effect type 10). It scales with 6 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. It scales with 0.797 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec.

What it does

Riptide is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it heals and applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
