Self Destruct.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is -100. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Detonate is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 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.
