Calls down a molten rain, burning all enemies in a selected area for 13875 to 16125 Fire damage every 2 sec. for 5 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 13875 per tick. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Firestorm.

What it does

Firestorm is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 2 sec. It also casts Firestorm (record #73862).

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.
