Hurls a fire bomb at an enemy, inflicting Fire damage on impact and burning them for additional Fire damage every 1 sec for 8 sec.

How it works

Fire Bomb is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 70. Its base value is 20 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (160 base in total).

What it does

Fire Bomb is a Fire spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 100) and applies an aura 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.
