How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 124, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 60 yards. It triggers Safe Fall.

What it does

Backdraft is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). It also casts Safe Fall.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
