Tooltip

Calls down a meteor which lands at the target location after 3 sec, dealing Fire damage. Also burns the ground, dealing additional Fire damage for 8 sec to enemies in the area.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 3 sec.

What it does

Meteor is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 3 sec.

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.
