Inflicts Fire damage to enemies every 1 sec for 5 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Flame Cannon.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Flame Cannon is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Flame Cannon (record #290873).

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.
