Xathuux the Annihilator spreads fel magic across the ground from his feet inflicting 11 Fire damage every 1 sec to any players standing in it.

How it works

Burning Steps 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 0.8 sec, 20 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Burning Steps.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 402.

What it does

Burning Steps is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.8 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Burning Steps (record #474235).

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.
