Tidal Burst

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Tidal Burst is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Tidal Burst is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 2 sec cooldown. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 300) in a 20 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 20 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.
