Tooltip

Call down a demon-infested meteor from the depths of the Twisting Nether, dealing (2537.9% of Spell Power) Chaos damage on impact to all enemies of the target and summoning 1 Diabolic Imp.

Damage is further increased by your critical strike chance and is reduced beyond 8 targets.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Ruination is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 8 yards. It triggers Ruination.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Ruination is a Physical, Holy, Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with a 1.5 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it launches a missile in an 8 yard radius. It also casts Ruination (record #434636).

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.
