How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Shockwave.

What it does

Shockwave is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 60 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 50 yard radius and launches a missile. It also casts Shockwave (record #119933).

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.
