Detonate

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 595. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Detonate is a Fire spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 595) in a 5 yard radius and kills the target outright.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
