How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5.3589. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 200.

What it does

Explode is a Physical spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 5.3589) 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.
