How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 20 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 90 sec.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 10 times over the full 2 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 6.

What it does

Surging Waters is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards, a 90 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 sec.

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.
