Earthquake

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 750 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (3000 base in total). It triggers Earthquake.
  2. Effect 2 is Area Aura (Party) (effect type 35). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Earthquake is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec, applies an aura to the party in a 10 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground. It also casts Earthquake (record #35569).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
