How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Tentacle Slam is a Physical spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 15 yards. When cast it restores a resource (base value -50) in a 15 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 30) 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.
