Deals 3563 to 3937 Nature damage to all enemies within 20 yards, silencing them for 6 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3563. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Shockwave is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius and deals Nature damage (base value 3563) in a 20 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.
