How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -75. Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Self Destruct is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 12 yard radius 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.
