Upon reaching a player affected by Lightning Rod, the Static Orb bursts inflicting 25.189 Nature damage to all enemies. In addition, haste and movement speed are reduced by 15% for 8 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Unstable Explosion is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 25.189. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is -15. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 15. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Unstable Explosion is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 25.189) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in an 8 yard radius. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
