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 30. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Tidal Surge is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 30) in a 30 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 30 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.
