How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10 per tick. Its area radius is 300 yards. It ticks every 1 sec.

What it does

Caustic Surge is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 12) in a 300 yard radius and applies an aura in a 300 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
