Photon Blast

Tooltip

The Arcane Collector emits an energy beam, inflicting 75 Arcane damage to players in the area. Victims suffer an additional 12 Arcane damage every 1.5 sec for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 75.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 12 per tick. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 4 times over the full 6 sec (48 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Photon Blast is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 75) and applies an aura every 1.5 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.
