How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Orb of Destruction is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Orb of Destruction is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 500) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 15 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.
