A nearby cannon fires a massive blast, inflicting 60 Fire damage in a frontal cone and knocking back targets struck.

How it works

Massive Blast is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 60. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Heat Visual.

What it does

Massive Blast is a Fire spell with a 4 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 60) in a 100 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 100 yard radius. It also casts Heat Visual.

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.
