Tooltip

Inflicts 20 Fire damage every 3 sec. to an enemy, increasing the time between its attacks by 50% and its movement by 50% for 15 sec.

How it works

Molten Metal 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 20 per tick. Its area radius is 20 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 5 times over the full 15 sec (100 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Molten Metal is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 20 yard radius every 3 sec, applies an aura with the snared mechanic in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 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.
