Tooltip

The target melts down killing themself and dealing 29250 to 30750 Nature damage to friendly units within 15 yards.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 29250. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Meltdown is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 29250) in a 15 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.
