Burning Cataclysm

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Burning Cataclysm.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Burning Cataclysm.

What it does

Burning Cataclysm is a spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it launches a missile and applies an aura. It also casts Burning Cataclysm (record #306949).

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.
