Blood explodes outward from a random enemy target, inflicting 1 Physical damage to nearby enemies.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Blood Nova is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 72380. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It triggers Blood Nova.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Blood Nova is a spell with a 1 sec cast, an unlimited range and a 16 sec cooldown. It also casts Blood Nova (record #72379).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
