Purging Protocol

How it works

Purging Protocol is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Attack Sentry Creature Visuals.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Suppression Field.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Sentry Fire.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Sentinel Creature Visuals.

What it does

Purging Protocol is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). It also casts Attack Sentry Creature Visuals, Suppression Field, Sentry Fire and Sentinel Creature Visuals.

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.
