Burning Tar

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Burning Tar.

What it does

Burning Tar is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Burning Tar (record #256660).

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.
