Nightmare Breath

Tooltip

Shar'thos unleashes a blast of fire inflicting 123.146 Fire damage to all enemies in a cone in front of him. Anyone damaged by Shar'thos' breath burns for 11.1951 Fire damage every 3 sec. for 30 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 123.146. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 11.1951 per tick. Its area radius is 40 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 10 times over the full 30 sec (111.95 base in total).

What it does

Nightmare Breath is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 123.146) in a 40 yard radius and applies an aura in a 40 yard radius every 3 sec. It stacks up to 5 times.

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.
