How it works

Scorched Earth 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 195.915 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Scorched Earth is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.
