Throws a fire bomb that creates a burning area, inflicting 5 Fire damage every 1.5 sec and decreasing movement speed by 25%.

How it works

Fire Bomb is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -25.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Fire Bomb is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 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.
