Tail Lash

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1000. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Tail Lash is a Physical spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 30 yard radius and deals Physical damage (base value 1000) in a 30 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 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
