Flame Wave

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 22 per tick. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (66 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 447. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Flame Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 6 yard radius every 1 sec and deals Fire damage (base value 447) in a 2 yard radius.

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.
