Tidal Surge

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 108.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec. It triggers Tidal Surge.

What it does

Tidal Surge is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 0.5 sec. When cast it has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura every 0.5 sec. It also casts Tidal Surge (record #38357).

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.
