How it works

Wrecking Ball is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Wrecking Ball.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 545.166. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 175.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Wrecking Ball is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura, deals Physical damage (base value 545.166) in an 8 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect. It also casts Wrecking Ball (record #148144).

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.
