WotLK corpse explosion and glyph

[caleman]

corpse explosion says it works on a 10 yard radius, but in game its much less than that, so why?
and what about the glyph of corpse explosion, is it supposed to increase that radius or not? (doesnt work on some servers)

[morfagor]

Neither the spell nor the glyph are working fine, and it seems on the short term they have no intentions to fix that issue. radius is about 3 yards and glyph doesn't increase at all the radius.

[Jarjkeqt]

You misunderstood how the spell works, the Corpse Explosion you are referring to is the PvE one, where you literally explode a corpse of a dead mob, this explosion has a 10 yard radius, this radius can be extended by Glyph of Corpse Explosion to 15.

The CE the pet is using is different (47496), this one has melee range (5 yards) and it's damage equals to 25% of the pet's current maximum health.

The only one who missunderstood is you. The CE you linked is the one that the ''pet'' (ghoul risen from a dead player) does (so it's basically the sudoku a player performs on the risen ghoul)

I am sorry to disappoint you but Jarjkeqt is right.
You can test by your own in-game > then click on the spell showed on combat log

Here is the a SS from warmane right now:

That is "Corpse explosion" used on a random dead body on the ground

Here is the spell used by the ghoul (DK's real pet, not a player resurected...) when I cast "Corpse explosion" on him with this macro "/cast [@pet] corpse explosion"

On combat log you will see
"yourName" casts Corpse Explosion at "PetName"
"PetName" begins casting Explode

if you look at Pet's cast bar of your UI you can even see the name of the spell he is casting.
