This volcano is about to erupt.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Lava Strike.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Lava Strike.

What it does

Eruption is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Lava Strike and Lava Strike.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
