How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 654.861. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Ground Smash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 654.861) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned 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.
