How it works

Casting it triggers a 2 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 142, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Flamethrower.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers Poison-Soaked.

What it does

Flamethrower is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 5) in a 20 yard radius. It also casts Flamethrower (record #464494) and Poison-Soaked.

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.
