How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Sand Blast is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 3.6794 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (22.08 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -75.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 300.

What it does

Sand Blast is a spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, applies an aura and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
