Calls down a rain of hellfire the target location, dealing Fire damage over 8 sec to enemies in the area.

This spell is cast at a selected location.

How it works

Each cast of Rain of Fire costs 30 Soul Shards. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Rain of Fire is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 353, which the datamine does not name.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec.

What it does

Rain of Fire is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 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.
