Place a fire trap that explodes when an enemy approaches, knocking back all enemies. Trap will exist for 1 min.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1. It scales with 0.0382 times attack power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 0.0382 times attack power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 10 times over the full 20 sec (10 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 60. It scales with 0.0382 times attack power. Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers Explosive Trap.

What it does

Explosive Trap is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1) in a 10 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius every 2 sec. It also casts Explosive Trap (record #149575).

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.
