How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Pillar of Flame is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 200 yards. It triggers Pillar of Flame.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 78062. It triggers spell id 78062.

What it does

Pillar of Flame is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an 8 sec cooldown. It also casts Pillar of Flame (record #77995).

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.
