Explode

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1200.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Knockdown.
  3. Effect 3 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Explode is a Fire spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1200) and kills the target outright. It also casts Knockdown.

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.
