Scorched Earth

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers Bombard.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Scorched Earth is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it launches a missile in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura. It also casts Bombard.

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.
