Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 0.7 sec.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 6.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Pyromaniac is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
