How it works

Self Destruct is built from 2 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 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Self Destruct 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.

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.
