Burning Pitch

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 1000 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (15000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Burning Pitch is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
