Plague Bomb

Tooltip

Vectis launches a plague bomb, erupting after 8 sec. This eruption inflicts 31.5 Shadow damage instantly and 10.5 Shadow damage for 8 sec to all players within 6 yards.

If no players are hit by the eruption, the bomb grows into a Plague Amalgam.

How it works

Plague Bomb is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 31.5. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10.5 per tick. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (42 base in total).
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 6 yards.

What it does

Plague Bomb is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 31.5) in a 6 yard radius and applies an aura in a 6 yard radius every 2 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.
