How it works

Hi-Explosive Bomb is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 3. It applies the incapacitated mechanic. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Hi-Explosive Bomb is a Fire spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 15 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage in a 3 yard radius and applies an aura with the incapacitated mechanic in a 3 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.
