How it works

Purging Flames is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 60 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 4 times over the full 2 sec (240 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Purging Flames is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura.
