Tooltip

A plume of heat and smoke backdrafts from the rear of the ship, inflicting 15.5459 Fire damage to enemies. The more cannon barrages occur, the more severe this explosion is.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15.5459. Its area radius is 65 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 32 yards.

What it does

Backdraft is a Fire spell with a 5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 15.5459) in a 65 yard radius and applies an aura in a 32 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
