How it works

Firestorm is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20000. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Firestorm.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150. Its area radius is 500 yards.

What it does

Firestorm is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 20000) in a 500 yard radius, applies an aura every 1 sec and has a Knock Back effect in a 500 yard radius. It also casts Firestorm (record #99606).

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.
