Cataclysm

Tooltip

Deathwing is trying to finish the job he started by bringing forth a second Cataclysm, inflicting 1462500 to 1537500 Fire damage to all enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1462500. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It triggers Cataclysm.

What it does

Cataclysm is a Fire spell with a 1 min cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1462500) in a 50000 yard radius and kills the target outright in a 50000 yard radius. It also casts Cataclysm (record #106527).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 21 separate Spell records named "Cataclysm". This page is record #106523. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
