The Unstable Core detonates, inflicting 20.1% of the Vigilant Guardian's maximum health.
The detonation cancels Optimal Core Temperature and any affects of Overclocking.

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 effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20.1.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Optimal Core Temperature.

What it does

Detonate is a Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. It also casts Optimal Core Temperature.

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.
