Rains volcanic rocks every 3 sec that inflict Fire damage to all enemies upon impact. Additional Fire damage inflicted to enemies within 6 yards of the impact.

Rocks also leave behind pools of lava.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Firestorm is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 24 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 15) in a 6 yard radius, deals Fire damage (base value 4) in a 100 yard radius and has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
