Obliteration Beam

How it works

Obliteration Beam is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 12 yards.

What it does

Obliteration Beam is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Spawn effect 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.
