How it works

Explosive Trap 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 70. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 10 per tick. It scales with 2 times attack power. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (50 base in total).

What it does

Explosive Trap is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 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.
