Flamethrower

How it works

Flamethrower 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 0.5 sec. It triggers Flamethrower Stream.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Flamethrower is a 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 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Flamethrower Stream.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
