Lava Bolt

Tooltip

Your critical strikes have a chance to summon a lava serpent to attack your target for 10 sec. The serpent spews a lava bolt every 2 sec, dealing Volcanic damage. Every third summoning, call forth three serpents instead.

If the target dies, the serpent enrages to deal Volcanic damage to up to 8 nearby enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Coiled Serpent Idol.

What it does

Lava Bolt is a Fire and Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Fire and Nature damage. It also casts Coiled Serpent Idol.

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.
