A tentacle erupts from below and strikes the ground, inflicting 100.044 Shadow damage to all targets caught within the area and stunning them for 2 sec.

How it works

Tentacle Slam is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Tentacle Slam is a Shadow spell with a 6 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 100) in a 30 yard radius and applies an aura in a 30 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
