Call in a Flamestrike from an allied blood elf mage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Flamestrike is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Flamestrike.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Starfall.

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect and deals Fire damage (base value 10) in a 10 yard radius. It also casts Flamestrike (record #1234712) and Starfall.

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.
