How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 75.

What it does

Tidal Surge is a Frost spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 35) and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
