Volatile Mutation

How it works

Volatile Mutation is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Chains.

What it does

Volatile Mutation is a spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it kills the target outright in a 60 yard radius. It also casts Chains.

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.
