How it works

War Stomp is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 3 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

War Stomp is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius and deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
