Deals 50 fire damage to nearby enemies and knocks them back a short distance.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Explode is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 50) in a 3 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 3 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
