How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Explosive Trap is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

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.
