Explode, destroying the Ghoul and causing 4388 to 4612 Shadow damage to all enemies within 8 yards.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4388. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Explode is a Shadow spell with a 5 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 4388) in an 8 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.
