Self-Destruct

How it works

Self-Destruct is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 66.

What it does

Self-Destruct is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura.

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.
