How it works

Polymorph Bomb is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 293.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Polymorph Bomb.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 10.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 24 times over the full 12 sec.

What it does

Polymorph Bomb is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.5 sec. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed mechanic. It also casts Polymorph Bomb (record #418589).

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.
