The caster sets the area aflame, inflicting 20 Fire damage to enemies. The flames continue to inflict 2.5 Fire damage every 1.5 sec to players standing in the area.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2.5 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 20 times over the full 30 sec (50 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec and applies an aura.

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.
