Tooltip

Places a Time Bomb on the victim of variable duration. When this effect expires, all players suffer 107.473 Arcane damage. This damage dissipates the further away the victim is from the explosion.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 30000 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (900000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Time Bomb is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it 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.
