A shockwave from an Explosive Bomb inflicts 900 Fire damage and 20 Fire damage every 1 sec for 10 sec to players it contacts.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 20 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (200 base in total).

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 100) and applies an aura every 1 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
