You summon an earthquake on the target area, causing the earth to tremble and break dealing 745 to 760 Nature damage every 2 sec and dazing all targets within 15 yards of its effect. Lasts 10 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 745. It scales with 0.119 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Blizzard.

What it does

Earthquake is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Blizzard.
