How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 47.17. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Surge is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 70 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 47.17) in a 10 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 39 separate Spell records named "Surge". This page is record #100012. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
