How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 125. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Steam Blast is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 125) in a 15 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 15 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.
