Tidal Force

Tooltip

The caster charges, inflicting Nature damage to all enemies in a line in front of her. Upon reaching their destination, the caster unleashes a secondary blast inflicting Nature damage to all enemies of her.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 25 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 149, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 25 yards. It triggers Tidal Force.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Tidal Force is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 40) in a 25 yard radius and applies an aura. It also casts Tidal Force (record #277045).

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.
