Self-Destruct

Tooltip

Upon reaching 100 energy, self-destruction protocol is initiated.

After 10 sec, the automaton detonates inflicting 330 Shadow damage to all players and increasing their damage taken by 250% for 5 min.

How it works

Self-Destruct is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 330. Its area radius is 600 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its base value is 10.

What it does

Self-Destruct is a Shadow spell with a 10 sec cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 330) in a 600 yard radius and kills the target outright.

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.
