Sonic Boom

Tooltip

Releases a massive burst of sonic energy that blasts nearby enemies for Nature damage, then inflicts additional Nature damage every 2 secs for 6 sec. While affected by Sonic Boom, enemy movement speed is reduced by 90%.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Sonic Boom is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 34 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 4 per tick. Its area radius is 34 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (12 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -90. Its area radius is 34 yards.

What it does

Sonic Boom is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage in a 34 yard radius, applies an aura in a 34 yard radius every 2 sec and applies an aura in a 34 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
