How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 175. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Heat Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 175) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 10 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.
