Flaming Updraft

Tooltip

Emberdawn spits fire at a player, inflicting 5 Fire damage every 1 sec for 6 sec. Upon expiration, the fire forms into a flaming patch that inflicts 15 Fire damage every 1.5 sec to players within it.

The patch's central updraft inflicts 25 Fire damage to players who touch it, knocking them away.

How it works

Flaming Updraft 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 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (30 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Flaming Updraft is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 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.
