Tooltip

Charges an enemy, inflicting 39.6228 Physical damage. In addition, Physical damage taken by target is increased by 500% for 20 sec.

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 School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 39.6228.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 500.

What it does

Surge is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 80 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 39.6228) and applies an aura.

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.
