How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 96, which the datamine does not name.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 90. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 90. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Surge is a Physical spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 90) in a 10 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.
