Self Destruct

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 700. 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 700) in a 5 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
