Fires an explosive shot at your target that lasts for 3 sec. Every 1 sec the target burns for (337.7% of Attack Power) Fire damage and explode, dealing 50% of the damage to all enemies. Any remaining damage from your previous Explosive Shot will be added into a new Explosive Shot. Deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets.

How it works

Each cast of Explosive Shot costs 20 Focus. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Explosive Shot is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 3.377 times attack power. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Explosive Shot is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
