How it works

Flamestrike is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 500. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 22 per tick. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 2 times over the full 4 sec (44 base in total).

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 500) in a 5 yard radius, applies an aura in a 5 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 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.
