How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 75 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Lava Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
