How it works

Each cast of Explosive Shot costs 25 Focus. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (2 base in total).

What it does

Explosive Shot is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1) and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
