How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 90. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 2 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Flame Burst.

What it does

Flame Burst is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 80 yards and effects that last 40 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 2 yard radius. It also casts Flame Burst (record #88596).

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.
