Thunder Clap

Tooltip

Blasts nearby enemies, increasing the time between their attacks by 20% for 10 sec and doing 10 damage to them. Will affect targets.

How it works

Each cast of Thunder Clap costs 20 Rage. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Thunder Clap is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is -20. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Thunder Clap is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 10) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius.

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.
