Meteor

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 500. It scales with 3.75 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Meteor Burn.

What it does

Meteor is a Fire spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 500) in an 8 yard radius and launches a missile. It also casts Meteor Burn.

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.
