How it works

Explosion 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 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 86, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Explosion is a Fire spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it kills the target outright in a 45 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
