Grommash slams Gorehowl into the ground multiple times in quick succession, inflicting 30 Nature damage in a frontal cone.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec. It triggers Shockwave.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 495. It triggers Cooldown: Creature Special 1 (5s).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 495. It triggers spell id 64884.

What it does

Shockwave is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Shockwave (record #408229) and Cooldown: Creature Special 1 (5s).

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.
