Earth Shock

Tooltip

Instantly shocks the target with concussive force, causing 18 Nature damage. It also interrupts spellcasting and prevents any spell in that school from being cast for 2 sec. Causes a high amount of threat.

How it works

Each cast of Earth Shock costs 30 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 18. It scales with 0.386 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.

What it does

Earth Shock is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 18) and interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
