Calls down a meteor, inflicting Fire damage to enemies struck. This additionally disorients targets and inflicts additional Fire damage every 1 sec for 5 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. Its area radius is 3 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (5 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. It applies the disoriented mechanic. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Meteor is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 50) in a 3 yard radius, applies an aura in a 3 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura with the disoriented mechanic in a 3 yard radius.

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.
