How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 25.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 250.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.

What it does
