How it works

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

Tidal Force is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 137726 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 16 times over the full 16 sec (2.20362e+06 base in total). It triggers Tidal Force.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 287. Its base value is 100. It triggers Tidal Force.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 413. Its base value is 100. It triggers Tidal Force.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 49. Its base value is 100. It triggers Tidal Force.

What it does

Tidal Force is a spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 16 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, summons a creature and applies an aura. It also casts Tidal Force (record #137718).

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.
