Light's Judgment

To clear up some confusion; this racial affixes a hidden debuff on your current target upon use and makes the target explode after 3 seconds, damaging the target itself and all enemies around it within 5 yard radius. It is NOT a target area placement ability and it does NOT stun your target.

This racial is also a fully functional Holy Spell and Damage Ability and therefore will trigger any passives your class/spec gets from unspecified damaging abilities and/or holy damage spells. For example as mentioned below: Works with Discipline Priest's Atonement (the healing part).

Its visual effect is the exact same as the Vindicaar's Light's Judgement ability.

Due to the mechanical nature of the spell, this effect's damage can still be lost before it triggers if Your target dies. So if you want to AoE down a group of targets, don't kill the main target too fast :)

I will also note that this racial scales with just about any flat damage/main stat increase buff in the game and scales extremely well. I've seen some insane numbers on my fury warrior, under perfect circumstances reaching as much as 80 MILLION damage to a single PvE target (LOL). And before you call me out on that number. This was under the effects of every single buff/proc I had access to at the time.

Some of which were:

Dragon Roar
Frothing Berserker
Mastery: Unshackled Fury + Enrage (This gets seriously high if you stack it)
Avatar
Concordance of the Legionfall
Unrivaled Strength (of which I had 8 traits at the time)
Not including trinkets as I don't even remember what those were sadly.

Other classes may experience different results :)

Anyways! Happy hunting folks!

If the target dies before the 3 seconds elapse the beam doesn't fire, which is bad if you were going to blast a large group and get overrun instead cuase the target died a second early.

It scales off AP/Spellpower, whichever your spec happens to use. The reason it hits harder for tanks, is because tanks get a percentage AP increase from Mastery. This will always result in tanks having far more AP than DPS specs.
