Although this is one of the death knight's talent-exclusive abilities under the Unholy tree, this spell is also a nice throwback to the necromancer class of Diablo II, which also had this spell.

I had a Necro in D2 and LOVED corpse explosion.
This is one of the many reasons I'm pumped about DKs, too bad their starting area will be so crowded. D=

The base dammage has changed from 60 to 216, still modified by attack power.
With improved Corpse Expolsion the dammage is increased by 50% ánd gives it a disease which deals 36% of the dammage over 15 seconds.
20y Range and costs 60 Runic Power

And it's AoE so with a nice amout of Attack Power it can be a very good PvP skill if you see a group of enemies.

Does anyone know how the corpse explosion works in relation to looting bodies? Like, if I use CE before I loot the body, do I lose the loot? Or does the spell leave a much...gooier corpse with the same loot on it that I just popped? This would suck in dungeons when a boss drops but someone pulls something else, DK uses CE...and blows up the boss and his loot by mistake >.<

Corpse explosion transforms the corpse into a heap of mangled flesh and bone, which will serve as a placeholder for the detonated body and contain any loot that the body would have.

This is simply not worth the talent points. The absolute worst part of this skill is that it takes an Unholy rune, and you simply cannot afford to spend an Unholy rune on something that does this little amount of damage. Spend it on a Scourge Strike, Obliterate, Plague Strike, Bone Shield, etc instead of this.

Both myself and another DK (I'm level 80, he's level 65) have been testing this and we've found that Corpse Explosion, when used on your Ghoul, hits for 52% of the ghouls total's HP.

So a ghoul with 8572 HP explodes for 4500 magic damage.

Addendum: this number is completely unaffected by your strength or AP, or the ghoul's strength or AP. It can crit for 1.5x. If you use it on the ghoul after the ghoul has died, it hits for normal Corpse Explosion damage.

Rule 1. Always have a ghoul :).

Wish i could find the exact quote but I remember reading that the blizzard employees had voted this spell (from Diablo 2) as the "Coolest Spell of All Time". I tend to agree :) even if the Deathknight version isnt quite as amazing as the Necromancers version.

This spell, whenever cast on the ghoul you own (be it player-controlled or computer controlled), will make it begin casting https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/spell=47496 .

Is it possible for your ghoul to use explosion and then use this spell on what's left of him?

Because if you can, that's insane :P

If I got the syntax right, this macro will make your Corpse Explosion automatically target your ghoul if you have one out, causing your ghoul to use the more powerful version of Corpse Explosion:

/target pet
/cast Corpse Explosion
/targetlasttarget

Obviously you'd want to order your ghoul to move into an advantageous position first, possibly by ordering the ghoul to Gnaw a target to keep it stunned for the Explode. This macro works from the early testing I did, although the syntax might be capable of being simplified or might have hidden problems I'm unaware of in certain situations.

The talent Night of the Dead may at first not seem terribly useful if you have permanent ghouls with Master of Ghouls, yet since you can use Corpse Explosion on a live ghoul of yours, Night of the Dead can actually be quite powerful.

By raising ghouls and sending them into the fray, you can cast rather frequent 1U-rune cost corpse explosions with Night of the Dead. On my character at level 58 in the starting deathknight gear and the talents mentioned above, exploding your own ghouls deals about 1200 aoe Shadow damage (obviously much more at higher levels). And if you know you're about to die, you can corpse explode your ghoul, and then when you come back as a ghoul explode yourself as well, quickly dealing a large amount to everyone next to you. Without Master of Ghouls it would be much more difficult to gain the full benefit from this, since your ghouls would be uncontrollable.

Also, the explode damage can crit (for 200%).

The best part about this is that it directly scales with the stamina on pvp gear.

Comentado por 15632

Can it be used on ghouls created via Army of the Dead?

Comentado por 257873

Do you have to Have Master of Ghouls and a controllable pet for it to cast Explode? or Can you do it without that talent?

Also another good up side and kinda down side at the same time is the range, Explode is only 5 yards... So in Essence its just a AoE Melee attack something easily accomplished with a Leap.. but on the Flip side its really gonna do Alot less dmg to multiple targets because of its short range.

Using this could be a good way to start off a multi-pull if you have no CC... if the ghoul leaps in all the mobs turn and Agro it in melee range because of a leap and Bam Explode lots of agro dumped right onto you

I'm currently using this macro:

#showtooltip Corpse Explostion
/cast Corpse Explosion; Corpse Explosion

Well, I would be, except for the fact that it doesn't work. It works with death coil, but not this. What this is supposed to do is make my pet initiate his self-destruct sequence when I hold down alt, but cast it normally when I hold nothing down. Does anyone else have this problem?

Comentado por herumor

While this has some limited use it's hardly worth even 1 talent point. I don't think I've even used this 10 times total. The problem is it screws with rotations as it uses an unholy rune. Also, it requires a corpse which is highly situational. Furthermore, the damage never seems to be all that high to justify using it over a much higher priority use of an unholy rune like scourge strike, bone shield, or anti-magic zone. If this was changed to use runic power maybe it would be somewhat worthwhile.

Comentado por 104695

Obviously, this is to use on the first target that dies, the target that either you or your ghoul is attacking. After that it's a matter of cleanup and this works well with Blood Boil for more controlled AoE damage.

Also, this is probably the worst thing you can do to a player that tried to gank you, it's even worse than /spit or Cannibalize.
EDIT: What I mean is, it's the ultimate way to defile a corpse, exploding it. I agree that /spit is causing alot more agitation than corpse explosion just because it's so useless, I try to refrain from spitting, I pity them instead.

Comentado por 104695

Changed to 40 RPcost and it's damage has been significantly increased in 3.1.

Comentado por Gravis

Taken from the Blizzard Patch Notes for 3.0.8

Corpse Explosion: Damage increased substantially, added 5 sec. cooldown, and changed cost to 40 runic power.

Apparently this about doubles the damage it does at the moment. making rank 5 hit for about 440.

Comentado por Nerobyrne

What has not yet been mentioned is that this skill is one of the only ones a DK gets that can generate Runic Power outside of combat, which i find useful to refresh Horn of Winter or heal my ghoul with Death Coil if i do not want to raise a new one

EDIT: Well, this would apply, but i guess in the next patch it will be gone...bummer

Comentado por 104695

In next patch (3.0.8), Corpse Explosion will work in good combination with the Butchery talent from Blood.

Comentado por 235419

Hooray. That Glyph of Corpse Explosion I've had since level 59 is finally gonna be useful. KABOOM!

Comentado por 71190

If a hunter can feint death, we should be able to explode their "corpse."

^.^

Comentado por 193742

I will have to disagree with you, ninkosen, since the primary use of this spell isn't to explode dead mobs for miniscule damage. It's primary use is to explode your ghoul, dealing 25% of it's health as damage. Ravenous Dead increases it's health, and thus the explosion damage. Needless to say, this is a great burst.

What makes this spell even more useful, is that you can explode yourself with Shadow of Death.

Comentado por Meringue

It should be pretty solid now, people mocking the top end are apparently the same dolts who laugh when they see the 200ish on Howling Blast... which currently crits for over 7000 damage for me in a raid.

Comentado por 271444

I'm surprised at all you people! Corpse explosion is the best taunt in PvP! What is more degrading then having a DK explode your corpse in front of your face, let alone you don't even have to target the corpse in front of you to explode it. For me the same old emote of spit and laugh before your foe leaves their body was getting old and I don't know many people who will spend their cash on "The Flag of Ownership." The 40 runic power is well worth the cost to rub in your foe's face that they just got owned.

Comentado por Tetrabitri

while i haven't found much use for this particular spell in PvE (aside from some interesting tank pulls/ exploding annoying raised group members) the true beauty of this spell, for me at least, is PvP. imagine this scenario if you will, an opposite faction member tries to gank you, and you beat him, and explode his corpse before release, he returns, and tries again, and you get him to a very low percent and he snares you and runes away. no problem, ghoul leaps, gnaws, BOOM, and then you explode his corpse again and raise it as a new ghoul.

priceless.

Comentado por 264311

This spell should really be allowed to use Corpse Dust.....Just my opinion but that would be awesome lol.

Comentado por rocky69

its kinda funny that you can still skinn a beast that has been blown up by this spell :P Skinning a pile of meat is pretty silly

Comentado por 251082

Unfortunately, when you blow up a corpse, the explosion size does not scale with the mob size, so if you blow up Gruul, it is like blowing up a rabbit. The remains also have a set size, so Gruul would be 3 x 3 ft in size once he was blown up. With some monsters, like ogres, you can barely see the explosion.

Comentado por Meringue

Spell went from mediocre to easily worth a point in 3.0.8. Solid AoE damage at the cost of no runes, which is perfect for us 32/39 remnants.

Comentado por 235419

New Corpse Explsion...WOW...critting for 3k as a tank.

Comentado por 258622

This ability also works on group members, I've had our Unholy DK tank blow up some group members for AoE damage after they have died. Its pretty funny.

Comentado por 6147

Anyone else having a problem getting this to work on their Ghoul in 3.0.8? I keep getting a your target is alive error.

Comentado por d3nyd

I severely underestimated this spell's power after 3.0.8. It used to be pretty pathetic: a sub-800 hit that cost an Unholy rune. Now, though, it costs the same as a DC or Frost Strike, but it's AoE. With the Glyph, it causes two corpses to explode. That makes this the most cost-effective AoE you can do with runic power, and indeed the ONLY AoE you can do with Runic Power (barring Unholy Blight, which is a PBAoEDoT (Man, lots of acronyms).

So if you aren't 51 deep in Unholy, or you're in a pack of mobs that die relatively quickly, hit CE after two of them die and you should get two 1000+ hits, not counting (rare) crits.

Plus, this spell is hilarious. The first night I had this in Naxx, most of the guild kept laughing over Ventrilo whenever I used it. It's pretty comical, and nothing is funnier than seeing Patchwork or Gluth turning into a big pile of meat and bones.

Comentado por 313558

You can also use this on dead ally's. "Ehm... Why am I a pile of bones..?"
Pretty funny :p

Two ghouls walk into a bar
"So what happened to you, you look scared?"
"My master keeps blowing corpses up and saying "ROFLPWNED OWNAGE LULZ" I am worryed about him, he starts looking at me and muttering "Boom" When ever he does not have enough corpses"
The second ghoul stares at him and explodes.
o.O save the ghouls.

Comentado por 151016

As a side note, this is a cinematic way of getting rid of ghouls that have terrible names (like "Bonemuncher" or "Ratravager") or for getting rid of an annoying debuff on your ghoul. Best used with NotD.

Comentado por EvilElpay

Good when used for aoe damage. Great when used for blowing up dead nub guildies that can't saftey dance. :P

Comentado por Eilonthay

It's great for AOE damage, since if you time it right, it does just enough damage to finish off most of the pesky hangers-on. I have a lot of fun with it in Stockades (Stocks--good for curing that boredom!), running back and forth from room to room before the boom! The animation's good for a (soft) maniacal laugh or two. Good times!

And it's very useful for getting rid of a stupidly named ghoul (as said above)--that'll teach 'em for picking out names while drunk! ^_^

Comentado por NyHoK

Can anyone tell me whether the explosion it self adds to a tank's threat table?

Comentado por EliteHogger

Please, DO NOT use while in raids... Just CE'd Saph. Guild got !@#$ed.

Comentado por 213715

Is this spell really worth the point though? It says it does 443 shadow damage but is there anyway to increase that? I ask because it is not listed. Does it increase with your AP for example?

Comentado por 424594

Just a heads up, i did some testing a couple minutes ago. When you explode your own ghoul, the explosion is based off of the Ghoul's Hp more then your AP. A commanding shout increased its explosion from 6k to 7.1k. As a dk in pvp its a very good idea to ghoul stun+explode your ghoul since the CD of stun is equal to the CD of the summon. GG cleave explosion in 3's for 7k a piece during bladestorm : )

Comentado por 249152

Use this to prevent mere setbacks.

Comentado por 465892

could someone please show me a macro to cast death coil when corpse explosion isn't available. without having to hold down alt or anything if it is possible. thank you

Comentado por 230590

im surprised this isnt anywhere in the comments yet but

if you target your own ghoul and cast corpse explosion they will do the old suicide explode dealing damage equal to about 40% of their max HP, which is actually very useful in pve if used at the right time or pvp in a coordinated burst, especially since you can get him back in action in only 30sec... havent seen it crit though, but if you already have the ghoul glyph, their health is easily over 20k which is minimum base 8k damage (should be another 13% on top with ebon plague), and its radius can be further stretched out 5 yards by the minor glyph

macro to do this would be

#showtooltip Corpse Explosion
/target pet
/cast Corpse Explosion
/targetlasttarget

you dont need the #showtooltip Corpse Explosion but its there incase you want the macro to replace your regular keybind

Comentado por sillybuns

You can blow Players

We know we can arspartan, but the question is, will we?

Comentado por Ephemeralis

This is a staple runic power dump for aoe-centric Unholy builds after the changes to the skill in 3.0.8.

Excruciating levels of AoE damage in hectic add-heavy fights. Very much worth the single point investment to get it. Probably not as stellar for hybrid builds, though.

I can't wait to see if this is castable on The Lich King :D
