Summons a Kinetic Bomb.

Time Bomb

Tooltip

Summons a Kinetic Bomb. The bomb drifts toward the ground and explodes on contact. Direct damage is absorbed by the bomb and converted into energy, propelling the bomb higher in the air with each hit.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min. It triggers spell id 177622.

What it does

Time Bomb is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 min. When cast it summons a creature and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
