The Acquisitions Automa catastrophically explodes upon death, inflicting 30 Cosmic damage to all players and launching them away.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Detonation is a Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane damage (base value 30) in a 20 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.
