The creature breathes scorching lava, inflicting 90 Fire damage to players in a frontal cone and disorienting them for 5 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 90. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Lava Breath is a Fire spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 90) in a 45 yard radius and applies an aura in a 45 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented mechanic.

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.
