Tooltip

Releases a massive burst of sonic energy that blasts nearby enemies with Nature damage, then inflicts additional Nature damage every 3 sec for 9 sec. While affected by Sonic Boom, enemy movement speed is reduced by 90%.

How it works

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 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 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 9 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage in a 34 yard radius, applies an aura in a 34 yard radius every 3 sec and applies an aura in a 34 yard radius.

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.
