How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 30 yards. It triggers Net Guard.

What it does

Web Explosion is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 30 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Net Guard.

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.
