Tooltip

Inflicts 1500 Nature damage to nearby enemies, increasing the time between their attacks by 100% and slowing their movement by 60% for 10 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1500. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. It applies the ensnared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is -100. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Thunderclap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 1500) in a 10 yard radius, applies an aura with the ensnared mechanic in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 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.
