How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.0056 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (0.01 base in total).

What it does

Explosive Shot is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
