Inflicts Fire damage to an enemy.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 597. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, an unlimited range and a 1 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 597).

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.
