Sonic Screech

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 16. Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Sonic Screech is a Physical spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting in a 45 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 16) in a 45 yard radius.

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.
