Inflicts 7.13714 Nature damage to nearby enemies, increasing the time between their attacks by 100% and slowing their movement by 60% for 8 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7.1371. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -100. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Thunderclap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 7.1371) in a 10 yard radius, applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
