How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 16 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Scorched Earth Effect.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. Its area radius is 10 yards. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 16 times over the full 4 sec (64 base in total).

What it does

Scorched Earth is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius every 0.2 sec and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius every 0.2 sec. It also casts Scorched Earth Effect.

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.
