How it works

Catastrophic Failure is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 141, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 177764. It triggers spell id 290137.

What it does

Catastrophic Failure is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it kills the target outright in a 300 yard radius and applies an aura in a 300 yard radius.

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.
