Throws gob of burning pitch that sets the target area aflame, inflicting 25000 Fire damage over 10 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2500 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (25000 base in total).

What it does

Burning Pitch is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
