Heals a friendly target for 480, an additional 445 over 15 sec, and increases the effectiveness of your Chain Heal casts directly on that target by 25%.
How it works
Each cast of Riptide costs 245 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.
Riptide is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 480. It scales with 0.214 times spell power.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 8. Its base value is 89 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (445 base in total).
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 25.
What it does
Riptide is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it heals (base value 480), applies an aura every 3 sec and applies an aura.
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.
