Tooltip

Ignites enemy targets, causing them to burn for Fire damage every 1 sec for 8 sec. Upon expiration, the targets explode and knock players into the air.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 167.927.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Ignition is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 167.927) and has a Knock Back effect 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.
