Calls down a pillar of fire, burning all enemies within the area for Fire damage and an additional Fire damage over 8 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec.

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
