Leaves behind a patch of flames that burns enemies within it for Fire damage over 6 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 base value is 6. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -20. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 6) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in an 8 yard radius.

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.
