Detonate

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Power Drain (effect type 8). Its base value is 500. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Detonate is a Nature spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it dispels effects in a 10 yard radius and drains a resource from the target (base value 500) in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
