How it works

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

  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 30) in a 5 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.
